"...Before that unfortunate occurrence, I - as well as the many Crewman Number Six fans - would be treated to a hot, sweaty, powerhouse set of rock brilliance in celebration of their new CD release 'Nice to Meet You'. As they've evolved over the years, their progressive metal songs have injected more funk and blues - and seemingly more fun for the band.
Those who play music know that it's not enough to just make everyone else happy. If the music you make doesn't move you to do it again or to build on it or to change in some way, you will lose your grip on whatever muse got you there. It's what keeps the passion fresh and alive. And let's face it, those of us watching from the stands feed off the vibe of bands who love what they do.
And so, with every bellowed growl and crooned line comes the blistering riffs backed by a concrete foundation. Weaving thru it all is a message and if you're not careful, you might learn a thing or two. Or you can just set your shuttlecraft on autopilot and have a good time. Either way, you will be happy."

"Nice to Meet You - A pleasingly moody'n'melodic serving of brooding pop-rock. The deep, hoarse and commanding vocals deliver the concise lyrics with a snappy rhythmic aplomb. The perfectly crunchy'n'punchy arrangements go heavy on the gritty grinding guitars, steady pounding drums, and fat churning basslines, creating a thick, pungent and atmospheric sound that really gets under your skin. Better still, there's a smart and engaging reflective aspect to the songwriting which in turn knocks the already fine quality of this album up a few extra notches. Moreover, these guys pour on the tasty funk with "Gone," score a beautifully tuneful bull's eye with the lovely "Rasa," and conclude things on a properly sober note with the poignant "Evil of Indifference." A very solid and satisfying album."

"It seemed an unlikely pairing. Crewman Number Six had been on a quest to find a vocalist to front their tight, melody-laden instrumental power forever. At the same time, Ross had been enthusiastically serving up his soulful ass-shakin' acoustic gems to drunken late night bar patrons. When I first heard that Ross would be providing the long awaited voice to CN6, I thought ... interesting. I've been a big fan of both parties, but could this work? The answer is a resounding hell yes it works! Their debut at Willie McBride's in Hoboken put all fears to rest. The monster truck that is Crewman Number Six is now complete with fine Corinthian leather and a barefoot driver. Crushin' Fiats while watchin' the sunset."

"The Truth - Hey, ya wanna hear somethin’ gritty’n’groovy, something with a little funky edge and a whole lotta bitchin’ ass rippin’ hard rock muscle? Y’know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout, the kinda lowdown hard-thrashin’ and swaggerin’ no-bulishit straight-up rock that goes heavy on the growly foghorn rumble-grumble soulful singing, say-it-like-ya-see-it direct sensibility, and more than enough tough crunchy guitars, fat-ass churning basslines, and thick steamrolling drums to get your head boppin’ up and down to the dirty deep-diggin’ beat while the slow-grindin’ snaky tempos take their splendidly sweet time slithering along at a gloriously gradual clip. Well, this shit-hot scorchin’ 4 song EP CD is just the gnarly little number for you, pal."

"The night I nabbed this shot I also got to see Crewman Number Six for the first time after having heard lots of good stuff about these guys. Aside from their questionable choice of t-shirts they lived up to the hype. Their singer reminded me of the late Lynn Strait from Snot but only in the laid-back rhythmical approach he took with some of his melodies. Other than that he and the band had a sound all their own."
