This is one hell of a mess!"

"That old saw about a jack of all trades mastering none finds no application within the Cole Brothers, as Jim Cole and his cohorts are intent on passionately reconstructing everything from Bluegrass to Folk to Country (Alt. and otherwise) and Rock. During area gigs and now with the recent release of their debut CD, When Good Things Happen to Bad People, the Cole Brothers have easily proven their ability to translate any musical genre into their own unique musical language. Cole's most prominent local gigs with Garage Rock legends the Customs in the '70s and Alt.Rock chameleons the Auburnaires in the '80s were the testing grounds for his incredible range with the Cole Brothers today." —CityBeat, 2004
