Shapinska Rock Review
"I have this beauty sitting in my player and turned up loud. The more
I hear this band the more I like
- They are very original and Crystal writes some great songs. There´s
13 tracks on here and with the vast Blues,
Jazz and Country influences in the sound - This album gripped my attention
from start to finish.
Every track is different and how they´ve structured them is very clever
and shows what quality musicians they are.
The music certainly compliments Crystals excellent vocals. You just have to
listen to Crystal sing - Her vocal
range is very wide. A modern day Kate Bush maybe? Production wise is the best
and packaging is the tops.
Probably one of the best albums I´m ever going to hear. (Ears With Gears)

Shapinska Rock Review
"Crystal and the Wolves alt-Americana music is sunny but not saccharine.
The lyrics are political but not preachy.
Crystal herself beams joy and wit into every note she sings. Rhythm, melody,
spirit, their debut album has it all.
The band is a walking, talking peace declaration. Between men and women, people
and our earth. With songs
like, Called Off the Borders and Maimouna, I dare
you to resist singing along as they clear the cobwebs
from the dark corners of your soul. But can you dance to it? Oh yeah. To paraphrase
Emma Goldman,
I *can* dance to it and this *is* my revolution. As the guys exclaim
at every show, Crystal is HOT!
With this album, everybody knows it."
Nina Jo Smith, Redwood River Music
Shapinska Rock Review
"Crystal and the Wolves have wiggled into America's music scene at just
the right time.
The young and old alike need a breath of fresh air. Crystal is that fresh
air.
These songs are tended with an amount of care that is apparent to all age
groups and walks of life.
Feel good music that's smart, powerful, and danceable: smart enough to convince
you
she's put in her musical time; powerful enough to make you think; and rockin'
enough to make you dance. "Shapinska Rock" is surely my pick for
most anticipated album of 2006 thus far."
Shapinska Rock Review, Ian Tsan, Grape

"Crystal And The Wolves are a Pop band
with bundles of imagination. I like the diversity in both the lyrics and
music that they write. They´re well worth checking out."

"I checked out this band on My Space a few weeks
back and am well pleased they sent me
through a press pack. I would would describe Crystal And The
Wolves as a Pop band
with a slight Rock edge in places. However these aren´t an ordinary
Pop band as their
songs are written from an inner passion perspective by the vocalist Crystal
Eastman - Most Pop is
based around artificial nonsense. The six tracks on here are taken from their
debut album
which is going to be released in December. On this release there´s not
one weak track.
listening to ´Lullaby For Shai´ and ´Lucky Girl´ shows
how cool Crystal and her band are.
Yeah you should have a listen. (Self Financed) 8/10" Steve
