"'Take Me Anywhere' showcases the band's tight musicianship and well-constructed songs, which have a pop hookiness while still retaining the power and energy of straight up Rock & Roll and a sweeping urgency and intimacy on ballads like "Runaway" and the lush 'Like Diamonds.'"

- Mike Breen, Cincinnati's "Citybeat"

"Since releasing the album, Honey Tongue has caused quite a buzz on the independent music scene. And the hum of success is only getting louder with time..."
