Some early BUDOKAN reviews:

“I love when a band just gets it. The guitars are fierce, the vocals committed, and the drums pounding. For 13 songs, Budokan goes, goes, goes until you’re equally elated and exhausted. And then you hit play again.”
— Indianapolis Indy Rock Live

“…reveals a profound love for the likes of Kiss,
Thin Lizzy and the Rolling Stones.
…that just makes you want to crack open a cold one
and let it all hang loose.”

4 stars review in Vancouver Sun

“This Canadian band from Victoria, B.C. has the loud fiery energy that is sure to make it a rookie-of-the-year as far as I’m concerned.”
Power Popaholic

“If you’ve got a taste for swagger from players that have been there
and done that, this is your thing.”
