"Burnt" Brides Be Gone
There's a new sound in town. Come hear what guitar was made to sound like through an amplifier. Catch the Thanksgiving Weekend show at the new Grape Street Philly. - Julie , posted 11/10/04

Better than...
all the other wanna be vocalists that are signed - and he doesn't lip sync. You want REAL music, REAL players, REAL emotion??? Jose Maldonado delievers that and more. So when is someone gonna WAKE UP and realize there is $$$ to be made with this guy? Jesus, how many times are you gonna let a good thing pass you by? - Lora , posted 11/10/04

Why Cipher is better than the leading brands
Here's what I love about Cipher: they are made up of some of the area's most talented musicians; they music is hard but gorgeous; the vocals are amazing; some of them look really good with their shirts off; and their live show will leave an impression on you on so many levels. Here's what I hate about Cipher: They keep playing shows on weeknights when I can't go see them, and they don't have an album, demo, single, or anything! C'mon guys, work with me here! - Melissa , posted 11/09/04

Best in Philly
Never a bad night when you go to see this tight, sick ass band. Excellent lyrics compliment an intense sound. Insane drummer to boot. Don’t miss the next show. Coming to a theater, bar, birthday party, Bar Mitzvah near you! - Brad , posted 11/09/04

Too cool for school? Not really.
So, Cipher... Good stuff with an element of danger. Musicality - top notch. Sex appeal - up there. Go see them and enjoy yourself for a change! - matt , posted 11/09/04

cipher this??
saw cipher for the first time at the grape st pub...they opened their set with a white noise instrumental section led by guru guitarist steve on the theramin, quickly exploding into a hard driving pulsating rhythmic extravaganza! im not a big fan of hard rock, but these guys tore it up and blew me away!! get off your asses and see these guys at your local watering hole before its too late!!!! - danny , posted 11/09/04

step aside posers, here comes the real music
Cipher is poised to do great things in the music industry and for Philly. Their music diverges from the mainstream and completely kicks ass. I've known these guys since before Cipher and they are all cool, fun guys. Watch out, Cipher is on the rise! - Jeremy , posted 11/09/04

These guys are super hot!
Yeah, I know,"hot" doesn't really cut it as far as bands go...but this band is actually really good as well. I found myself humming their tunes as I left the bar where I saw them a few weeks ago...at first, I thought of them as just another HOT rock band, but they are actually super talented. I'm surprised they haven't gotten signed yet, because there is something about them that just makes me want more....what else can I say?? - lexis , posted 11/09/04

not too shabby
These guys are way better then I expected...much better then the bands they opened for when I saw them at Nothstar. I wouldn't mind getting one of their cd's..it's a shame none seem to exist. They are top notch musicians, I'm sure we'll be seeing them all over the place soon. One of the better Philly bands, no doubt.

best philly band around
Cipher opened up for my roommate's band,and I wasn't expecting much, based on the fact I had never heard of them. I was totally impressed by their performance, and almost had to drag my girlfriend away from the stage..in fear she would ditch me for the night, in order to hang out with the band. She loved them, and (as much as I hate to admit it) so did I. I asked for a demo cd, and they claimed they had none, but if anyone knows how to get access to one, let me know. I would definately go to see them play out for a future show, as long as my girl lays off the liquor and pays more attention to me then them. Mad props, guys...I'm almost jealous. - issac , posted 11/08/04

THIS BAND RULES
I only caught one of these guys' shows, but it was f-ing awesome. I intend to go to many more of their shows, as long as they continue playing in the Philly area. They are one of the the best up-and-coming new bands I've seen in a while, and I can't wait for them to come out with some new sh*t. - frankie , posted 11/08/04

These Guys Are My New Favorite Local Band
A friend of mine gave me these guys' demo cd, and I fell in love. Their lyrics are bittersweet, the lead singer's voice melts my soul, and they are all- in-all incredible musicians. I can' t wait to be their biggest groupie when thay make it big. They have renewed my faith in the Philly music scene by being a refreshing, awesome change from the norm! Rock on! - jill , posted 11/08/04

These guys totally rock.
These guys are the best band I've ever heard at Whiskey Tango, and I've been going there forever. They have an amazingly unique style of music, and it doesn't hurt that they're wicked hot..(I've got my eye on the dark-haired guitar player, so hopefully he reads this...) If anyone is looking for some AWESOME local music that is sure to get signed, check this band out! - ginny , posted 11/09/04

BEST LOCAL BAND I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE
These guys are WAY better then most of the shit you hear on the radio these days. I actually got to catch their first show at the Northstar and was blown away. They're definately on my list of top five favorite bands right now, and I'm psyched I got to see them live, before they make it big. - jen , posted 11/08/04

Well, blow me down!
You haven't seen a band that makes you want to pull that flannel from your closet and still make you proud to be ripping their sound to your iPod like these guys can. Truly cross-generational entertainment! - Jeffrey , posted 11/08/04

Best Live Band out there!
I saw these guys last month -- the lead singer has the best voice of any local singer, if not of any band on the radio. They have a great live show -- a must see! These guys will be big big BIG! - Rob , posted 11/05/04

Original Music?.....Here it is.
Everyone should go and see them before they are famous. That way you can say "I remember seeing these guys before they had all that money and all those hot girls hanging all over them". - Reggie , posted 10/25/04

musical integrity with one hell of a voice
extremely solid and tight delivery....not your normal songwriting, not your run of the mill half-assed musicianship, and DEFINITELY not a bunch of slackers on stage wondering why no-one dig's their sounds...these guys are professional. - Kevin , posted 10/19/04

Check them out or remain unenlightened.
Saw them twice in philly, once at the Grape Street and at Whiskey Tango, they RULED the night! If you have yet to see them, I suggest getting out of your potato chip filled sofa and seeing them SOON, before they get signed or wind up in prison. - Tom , posted 10/19/04
