“Abrupt Edge finds passion in yearning vocal harmonies and crashing waves of ocean-size guitar. Glossy kiss-the-sky anthems such as “Change” and “Born” would be right at home on your favorite active rock radio station.”-Michael Deeds. Entertainment Editor. Idaho Statesman-
“Born is one of the best demos I’ve heard in... years!”-Matt Diablo. Program Director. KQXR 100.3 the X-
“In a small-pond town drowning in heavy rock and metal music, it’s always a nice surprise when a CD floats to the top. Born, the newest release from Abrupt Edge, is a great example. The five tracks on this EP are a well connected cohesive group of tunes.”-Amy Atkins. Entertainment Editor. Boise Weekly-
