"Hachey has a great falsetto and a powerful high register. It's the kind of
voice that grabs you immediately, and may well be the weapon that
brings the group to a wide audience.."

-- Bob Merserau - Telegraph Journal I read the review I

"This kinda stuff was made for the masses to gobble up — power pop
with gooey lovesick lyrics and simple choruses that stick in your brain."

CD Reviews - "Soft Science"



"Repetitive riffs meet droning, mournful sounds that paint bleak landscapes as
 they present a sense of dark introspection.  The musicianship is studied
and effective, clearly making Hachey’s expressive vocals the band’s centrepiece.
"

"Another solid band from Canada's East Coast.  Sproll has earned its place
in the Canadian music scene with singles like "Eyes Have Spoken" and
"Everywhere You Turn". With tour dates bringing them across the country, it
won't be long before they're recognized as one of the East Coast's best ..."

"I have a feeling these guys could very well be destined for bigger and better things.
In the meantime, you can't go wrong picking up this EP if you're a fan of
 British guitar pop rock. Well done indeed."

-- Ken Kelley -  [HERE] Magazine  


"Great, atmospheric tunes that only leave you wanting more,
and lush production by Halifax's Laurence Currie (Sloan, Wintersleep, etc.)
- this is 25 minutes of solid pop-rock."

"...Best of all, though, is "Nobody's Fault", which could easily be Sproll's "Yellow"
-- it's catchy, it's heartfelt, and it could be the song that makes them omnipresent and
launches them into  stardom. With luck, however, when that happens they'll remember
that it was Soft Science that put them there in the first place..."
-- Matthew - i (heart) music  I read the review I


"Soft Science doesn't have a bad song on it. The six songs flow seamlessly
into each other to create 25 minutes of atmospheric rock."

-- Andrew Sharpe -  BOOM Magazine  


" Lead-Singer Corey Hachey's soft voice lures you into every song on the album.
It's soft, charming, and feeling. There's something there."

-- Hiedi Irvine - The Aquinian
