>>> "[decibel.'s] voice is full, resonant, and breathes eroticism. Decibel's lyrical style describes situations which are so vivid, one can almost see, hear and taste his experiences . . . Josh Weinstein's musical style encompasses the human attribution of pain and transcends it into a work of art. This is what artistic expression is all about." - Indieguitarists.com
