"...if Salvidor Dali and Vincent Van Gogh got to together and said lets do a portrait of Rock n Roll, you'd get the band Dali Van Gogh! We're honored to have this premier [of "The Demon"]. Horns Up Dali Van Gogh!" - Lord Malignus, Evolution Rock Metal Podcast (Feb 25, 2012)

"The talent that these musicians bring into play have the ability to take certain circumstances and experiences and twist them into a song that will leave you spell bound. From those incredible vocals right down to the spine tingling guitar riffs, every chord, every note, every sound leaves a mark." - Joe Conte, A & R Select Press Room (Jan 26, 2012)

"This single [Not My Worst] is getting its pre-release due to it's extraordinary power and texture. It captures a well synchronized and well versed group with a sound that is like no other ... It reflects the band as a united group and the power that is generated when the synergies flow so perfectly." - Grace Consoli, A & R Select Press Room (Jan 26, 2012)

"Dartmouth?s Dali Van Gogh has won the Nova Scotia portion of the Rogers Battle Of The Bands. Hard rockers Dali Van Gogh ? Marcel McNeil on vocals, Isaac Kent on lead guitar, Nason Scribner on drums, and Megan McKenzie on bass ? picked up $1,000 as first prize and advance to the national finals. The band has released its first CD Verbal Warning. Listen to a sample of their music at www.reverbnation.com/dalivangogh." - (The Chronicle Herald), The Tattler (Feb 10, 2011)

"Dali Van Gogh play meaty, soulful hard rock. Melodic songwriting and beautiful vocal harmonies, driven along by full fat, high octane bluesy riffology, and fat, grooving bass and drums. It?s old school stuff, in common with contemporary acts like Kings Of Leon, which just goes to show some things can?t be improved on." - Live Unsigned (Nov 13, 2010)

"Their sound was rugged and vibrant, reminiscent of early years AC/DC and Led Zeppelin slashed through with a more modern-sounding crunch on the guitar work. Very good stuff from a very good band...These guys had a crazy stage presence, particularly lead singer Marcel Macneil and lead guitarist Isaac Kent. It's clear these guys are no stranger to live shows." - Stuart Rankin, Independent Journalist (Sep 19, 2010)
