The Irish music scene's best kept secret? Maybe it's time more people were told. -- 9/10" -- Drop‐d.ie<br /><br />"I have to say Ross Breen blew me away... Just go and see him, you won't be disappointed." -- Roadhouse Magazine<br /><br />"... rocking tunes, punching vocal lines and tons of hooks... -- 9/10" -- Indiesight.com<br /><br />"... nothing short of a revelation. Despite being a supremely talented guitarist, it was actually his voice that left the lasting impression, a cross between the soaring wildness of Jeff or Tim Buckley and the worldweary bassiness of Tom Waits. He is definitely a name to watch for the future."-- Sligo Weekender<br /><br />"Ross applies his voice with pure passion, singing every lyric in perfect melody..." -- 6/6 -- Musicreviewunsigned.ie (Artist of the month March 2011)<br /><br />"...an interesting twist on the singer-songwriter theme... His songs leap across a span of styles... the voice is something to behold." -- Iris Magazine<br /><br />"I was played this song a few times and loved it but when Simon the director told me he was Irish, I was gobsmacked. He deserves the world." -- Myles O' Reilly a.k.a. Arbutus Yarns on the When I Met The Devil video<br /><br />Ross Breen released his self‐produced debut album in 2011, quickly leading to a number of hugely positive reviews.
