I've been to some of their live concerts, and the people that make the utterly fantastic music on this EP are as warm-hearted as they are awesome, musically. The song "Come Down" has me dancing every single time, and remembering a wonderful albeit rainy concert, taking shelter under the same cover as the stage. "Blind" and "Fine" are new, wonderful lyrical additions to their repertoire, with wistful "Window" and pagan paean, "Blessed Be", rounding out an extremely satisfying listening experience. Both thumbs up!

Phenomenal vocals, soul-stirring lyrics--and they sound even BETTER when live! Velvet Hammer writes, plays and sings with an inspiration that literally pulls people in off the street. The more you listen to their music, the more you relate. Every song is a celebration of the soul. It is a must have, for absolutely everyone. Ginger, Lynda, Tawnney & Nighthawk...you are a truly gifted (and personally wonderful!) group of people. Blessings!

this cd is the best ive heard in a long time i could identify with the lyrics within the first 5 seconds! anyone of any race religeon profession and whatever else can find a certain charisma when they hear this all can enjoy AWESOME!

"Come Down" is the quintessential invocation of the Powers That Be in the form of Alternative/Rock Music. This is a milestone for the already spiritually sparkling path of Velvet Hammer, and will mark a doorway to higher things to come.

I totally expected to love this album, but I find myself not listening to it much. Blessed Be and Window are great but the other tracks just didn't draw me in.. I've heard many of the songs from Storybook (also by them), and have loved them all.. I would suggest trying to find that (good luck)if possible.. If not this one gives you an idea of their sound.

This blend of infectious rhythm and silky vocals with a soulful message rounds all the bases. Ginger and Lynda's voices compliment each other well and the musicianship is phenomenal. The talents of the band are well showcased and the production is A-1. You will find yourself hitting the "repeat" button and drifting off into another, more peaceful place. After having seen them perform live and meeting them in person (eat your hearts out!) I can tell you that this album gives the same listening impact as "being there".

This album is the best I've ever heard. The drums just make your whole body vibrate. You can feel the music while identifying with the lyrics. Trust me, this is a must have album. An album for all ages to enjoy.

I'm very selective about the music I listen to, and this group is good. Also they just changed there name to "Dreamtrybe", all future CD's and tour listings will be under the new name, according to their web page.

Velvet Hammer are by far one of the most moving bands I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Their song "Come Down" with its wonderful lyrics and beautifully performed precussion grabs you and doesn't let go. All their songs are truly a "must hear".

I first heard of VH long after they had started their musical careers. Having been to two concerts now at Heartland Spirit Festival, I am an avid fan. Not only are the lyrics meaningful, passionate, and powerful, the music's great too! A fine band by any measure. Can't wait for more of their work to hit the stores!
