Josh displayed in very intense versions of both "Last Goodbye" and "Kanga Roo", the lyrical honesty and picturesque presence of life in Buckley's songs. He sang from the depth of his soul, connecting every chord and word in soft, sensitive recurrences of Jeff's work. He was able to keep the same harmony and flow that Buckley did, while still spilling his own emotion through the music.” -www.jeffbuckley.com (review of annual Buckley tribute show) “In a world mauled by pop’sploitation Joshua Kobak is an artist that restores my faith in the future of the industry, two thumbs up!” -Frontstreet Magazine “‘Above and Beneath’ was the first good album to hit my desk this past year, it came to me as fluke and now I can’t get it out of my stereo. Let the music play…” -Carte Blanche "Swim's first college performance turned out successfully.
