Borderline Books says the following:
"This Californian outfit (from Azusa) are preaching the gospel using a hard rock format and musically it's pretty good too. Fred Caban was the brain behind the project - he wrote the lyrics, music and supplies the vocals on all the tracks. The opening cut on the first album Blind is pretty bluesy, there's plenty of fuzz on tracks like Trust and a good echoed guitar on Freedom. The magnum opus is the final track, Rejoice, which deals with the end of the world and the coming of Christ. Imaginative, maybe even psychedelic, this track in particular is well worth a listen."
