Editorial Reviews

Product Description
On "Snakehouse", The Cliks have created something mysterious yet transparent; specific yet universal; timeless yet intoxicatingly new. They're a band of such primal power and unguarded emotion that they'll take your breath away. This is music that seems to emanate from a parallel universe, one where fundamental distinctions are blurred, living passionately is the highest level of existence, and rock and roll is the ultimate form of expression.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album and Artist You Should Know, April 28, 2007

By	Eternal January "myspace.com/eternaljanuary" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

I just got this album yesterday, but have been awaiting the release of Snakehouse for months. The Cliks are a great new band hailing from Canada. Their sound reminds me of a band called Tina & the B Sides, a modern Melissa Etheridge or even Fiona Apple with a kick arse backing band. The album standout is, so far, their initial release "Oh Yeah". I'm also enjoying their rendition of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River", which came as a surprise. The lyrics seem to have a pain about them they are trying to release, "When I'm wasted you sucker punch me". I recommend giving this album and band a listen. It will be worth your time. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars How In the World Can This Group Be Unknown?, May 22, 2008

By	S. Stainback (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album and this band simply cannot be recommended highly enough. Catchy and alluring hooks abound, dark and compelling lyrics throughout - this is just exciting, well-played and satisfying rock music. Add in the band's gender ambiguity and it all makes for a sense of discovery of a treasure that nobody else has quite caught on to yet. Fun stuff. No allowances expected or needed for evaluating a "girl" band. I caught this band performing live down in Cancun, bought their CD, and have not been able to force myself to listen to anything else since. Every song is catchy. I am used to settling for albums with two or three good cuts on the entire CD. This one doesn't have a loser in the bunch. Buy it - you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think I'm in love!, June 7, 2007

By	T. Sugg "prayersfor.rain" (Merced, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No, seriously.
I absolutely LOVE this band. Love, love, love. The songs are catchy, they're great to sing along to, and the lead singer's voice is great. Surprisingly enough, the only song I always skipped over was their hit "Oh Yeah". I saw them live and...now I'm excited to hear it. If you ever get a chance to see them live, DO IT! My friends and I drove 4 hours (round trip) on a work night to see them and none of us will ever regret the experience. The band is really friendly, they put on a great show, and they come out to meet everyone after they're done.
