Review Beat Magazine from Melbourne Ska Orchestra Support
“Eight-piece roots reggae group Kooyeh instantly garner the attention of the considerable early-bird crowd, resulting in a completely packed out pit by the end of their set. Frontman Isaac Walker creates a laidback rapport with the crowd. The sun-drenched sounds of Soaking Up Rays incite a solid session of bliss for every crowd member. The track is definitely the band at their finest. The lush arrangement, consisting of hook-heavy guitars, creamy synths and a sparkling three-piece horn section, was nothing short of excellent.”
“Kooyeh have managed to capture something fresh here. An appealing mix of finely honed and laidback, this should guarantee them a massive future.” Chris Lambie, Rhythms Music Magazine
“The Katoomba-bred Melbourne-based collective boasts deadly vocal and brass sections. Kooyeh’s music is taut, tight and terrific, indicative of an outfit that lives, works and plays together.” Tony Hillier, The Australian
