quotes :

"... Alcatraz has put together an awesome line-up of new talent on the Indie scene...The Ultimate Indie Hooks Compilation Volume 1 rocks from beginning to end ... a drippingly hip song by French band ProXima entitled "Hello My Old Friend". The lead vocals are set up by a slow moving tripped out band performance. It's the kind of song that you close your eyes and daydream about colors and happier times. The lead vocalist sings "I will dream for you" and you almost believe him. I bet his dreams are totally tripped out for real ... I would recommend anyone who digs good rock music to buy "The Ultimate Indie Hooks Compilation Vol.1" without hesitation ...”
Preying Lizard Music

"...Winging its way over from France and showcasing talent from all over the place, the first instalment of the Ultimate Indie Hooks Compilation is a varied creature...With some chirpy piano chiming over the rocking chords of Foggy Bottom`s "For My Sister", the title of this compilation seems justified ... Proxima first track stunningly recreates the sound of Radiohead fronted by John Lennon..."Tales of Youth" comes from early Placebo-a-likes, Arsen...There really are lots of hooks on this record and on the whole, the good tracks win the day... Bring on volume 2!"
