"...Michael Trent and Cary Ann Heartst sing noisy country songs with frayed ends and a frank spunk." - NY Daily News
 
"O’ Be Joyful is full of back-porch folk, twang ‘n’ bang country stompers, swampy blues and thrift-store garage-rock grit, filtered through the minimalist DIY ethos...” - MTV Hive
  
“Onstage, they trade off on guitar, ‘junkyard” drum kit, harmonica, keys and other instruments, all adding up to a helluva beautiful racket.” - LA Weekly
 
 “…Hearst and Trent share a remarkable chemistry.”   – Paste
 
"Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent sing like old lovers, entwining their voices in closer harmony one minute and shouting above one another in heated, twangy tones the next.
