“In a musical environment where a lot of music is beginning to sound similar, waverley have created a collection of songs that have allowed them to experiment with their vast range of individual musical talents. This has resulted in them being able to collate a group of unique and intriguing songs. Where some artists and bands tend to stick to one familiar sound or theme, waverley have proven that a mixture of tempos, themes and moods can create a successfully eclectic array of work. There is a song for everyone in this EP regardless of your musical tastes or preferences.” - Northern Exposure Magazine
