America, has a real authority on that kind of big hard rock and to me I love something that sounds so all American as that( TROY) does, like that is the sound of big American hard rock. - Beez, Rock Media Mogul, Space Zebra Show
"A four-piece band that packs the same punch as acts with twice as many members, TROY bleeds out a little Metallica and a hint of Avenged Sevenfold in their new single – all with a sound and power that’s distinctly their own" - Stereo Stickman
You have got to see them play live they are absolutely amazing. Great bunch of guys for sure - - Marvin Parnell
Great songs, hell of a voice! - -Jay Baumgardner (Producer/ NRG Studios)
Forgive my language, but in the most complimentary way F*CKING AMAZING! LOVE! Touched my heart! I feel your voice straight into my heart, hard core...WOW! Stunning! No words although I tried to articulate myself **HUGS****. .........:) x - - youtube fan
Awesome...absolutely nails it with vocals - - YTfan
Put them on the radio and (makes whistling noise) peeeew!!! - Josh Balz, Motionless in White, Strangekids, Space Zebra Show
I found myself intrigued with the performance that TROY gave. It was obvious to me that here was a band that is confident, and had showed up ready to play. They had the audience enthralled from the first song, and revved the crowd up through their entire performance; TROY had them already foaming at the mouth.” - -Brian Mckinny (Senior Editor/ Music Insider Magazine)
I got a taste of the new cd, and I've got to tell ya... from start to finish that thing was fantastic! Especially The Reckoning... its quite a doozy" - -Brock (Radio D.J. Rock 107 WIRX- Midwest Family Broadcasting)
"Short for The Reality Of Yourself, everything about TROY is more than meets than eye (or ear). With the ability to slip meaningful and poignant lyrics into songs that are catchy enough to sing along to, TROY may just un-brainwash anyone who happens to hear Wicked World" - stereo stickman
Damn so much feeling - - Heidi Rose
They sound just how they’re recorded live! Honestly they can be for rock radio, They can just destroy it. - - Jake, Space Zebra Show
