"It reminded me of that classic rock sound I yearned for from Christian musicians when I was in college."

"These guys have rich lyrics and a rich sound. If you're like me, you will appreciate the rich lyrics and good rock-n-roll these guys crank out (they reminded me of Tom Petty). Top that off with their clear heart for worship and you have a group that deserves attention from music lovers."

"The Blackstones have adhered to that classic sound with awesome guitar leads and a steady rhythm that is sometimes bluesy, sometimes rock, and all worship."

"Listening to the Pacific Northwest's Blackstones is like cruising back through rock and roll history."

"The 5-piece Blackstones bring a nice mix of 70s rock and modern garage rock topped with gritty vocals. Get ready to time travel: "Can'tSeemtoSober"s Santana strings, "FavoriteTune"s Lou Reed vocals over the Dead's guitars, and "Comeback" is pure Neil Young."

"Aaron LaMere's gritty vocals, combined with the clean-driving guitars reminiscent of Third Day's Brad Avery, The Elms' Thom Daugherty, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell, provides a perfect music picture. I don't see any faults in The Legend of Simon Peter. I can only imagine The Blackstone's live show; if it retains the musical caliber and worshipful heart, it cannot be anything but amazing."
