CVI follows an incredibly well-received EP debut in late 2010 which won praise from a wide variety of outlets including Paste Magazine (“blues-infused rock’n’roll, wrapped in protective barbed-metal packaging”), NPR (“a revved-up Southern hard-rocker that howls like Led Zeppelin astride a psychedelic unicorn”) Brooklyn Vegan (“Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde fronting Black Sabbath”) and Terrorizer (“‘Royal Thunder’ grabs you right from the first listen”).
