“THE DEBUT SELF-TITLE ALBUM BY ‘MAKE BELIEVE FRIENDS’ IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CURRENT MUSIC SCENE DESPERATELY NEEDS! AN EXCITING ALT-ROCK BAND WHO WOULD HAVE EASILY CHARTED SEVERAL TOP40 HITS ON COMMERCIAL RADIO WHEN RECORD COMPANIES WERE SCOUTING FOR HITMKERS. MAKE BELIEVE FRIENDS TRIUMPHS IN MUSICAL PROFICIENCY, SONGWRITING TENACITY AND RIVETING VOCALS. THIS BAND CAN EASILY CONTEND WITH THE DISTINGUISHED TALENTS OF BANDS LIKE… NO DOUBT … THE GO GO’S…LETTERS TO CLEO…THE BANGLES AND EVANESCENCE.”
5 STARS!
