"Top Local Shows of 1995: #4 MysteryDriver at the Double Door. The lean, roots-based bluesy rock band tosses out chestnut after chestnut of cymbal-laden beats by John Carpender, basslines with minds of their own channeled by L.T. Swisher, and guitar solos by Steve Gerlach that make many backwards baseball-capped members of the crowd stand with mouths agape."

-Illinois Entertainer

"MysteryDriver's sound evokes the time when rock'n'roll's blues roots were clearly audible. The trio's raw, roadhouse rock effectively matches '50s flattop grooves with a Chicago blues howl."

-Chicago Tribune

"[MysteryDriver] plays an engaging brand of rockabilly-chicken-wire barroom blues that is the perfect soundtrack for hard drinking, fast cars and backseat grappling."

-New City (Chicago)

"They perform their songs as fast as possible without breaking the border to chaos...they play with a buttload of energy...Steve Gerlach has got some mighty fine chops and one hell of a voice."

-Rayolux (Chicago)

"...stripped down, American rock'n'roll and no gimmicks."

-Chicago Sun-Times

"The missing link between Flat Duo Jets and ZZ Top."

-Roctober (Chicago)

"Steve Gerlach...boogies, grooves and surfs the fretboard with style."

-Moo (Cleveland, OH)

"...filled with familiar blues licks and furious boogie patterns, all delivered with impressive tightness."

-Chicago Reader
