“I would be looking into these boys” - Slowcoustic.com
“The lyrics are heartfelt and coupled with the strong vocals, makes an effective combination. Strong lyricism gives music substance, and in the genre of folk / bluegrass, substance is key. In other genres, such as hip hop or pop, lackluster lyricism can be made up for with a beat. In folk, the words are at the forefront, and The Harmed Brothers deliver enough to keep you coming back.” Eric Walters – My Folking Heart
“Harmony is what separates the boys from the men, and there is no shortage here, as Ray and Alex relentlessly maneuver through these tracks with vocal unity.” Chad Little Indie Music Reviewer Magazine
“Vietti is a songwriter with many stories to tell, and this band has charm… wry observations, melodies not quite sonorous but still captivating, words sung with a slight warble, emotions wholly human.”
Vanessa Salvia – Eugene Weekly
“It’s a damn shame that more people don’t know who these guys are.”
Ben Adelt – Vocal Nerd Rodeo
“It is very rare that I care for banjo work that isn’t of the Scruggs style, but Alex Salcido gets two thumbs up from me for his style on the Harmed Brothers album All The Lies You Wanna Hear.”

“I only think of the heartland of the USA when I hear them. They might be based back in Cottage Grove, Oregon and that is close enough to dusty plains as they need to be. All The Lies (Songs) You Wanna Hear, yes.”

“With its harmonica racks, Appalachian obsessions and kicked-out-of-the-choir harmonies, the Harmed Brothers isn’t afraid to sound as sentimental as a campfire, as out of tune as pre-stardom Avett Brothers or as punch-drunk as that notorious trio from Belleville, Illinois. The duo even has a song called “Ode to Uncle Tupelo” and it means every word.” Roy Kasten – St. Louis River Front Times
