Reviews

"Trakan is truly an emotional and gifted songwriter. He keeps his angst at a controlled simmer, riding the cusp of a boil throughout his live show, keeping the audience on edge."
--- Brad Cole, Brad Cole's Blog

"The lyrics are very passionate and many of the songs are very emotional and expressive. With such an interesting and unique sound, it will be hard not to check out this Chicago band [8.8/10]"
--- The Music Appraisal.

"Axé sur les guitares électriques et le chanté parlé de Trakan, Opening Soon Under New Management emprunte au folk rock des années 90... Le chanteur rappelle parfois Mellencamp... Trakan a certainement une belle plume."
--- Nicholas Lavallée, BangBang (Montréal, Québec)

"Creepy roots music with panache."
--- Waymon Timbsdayle, Rocktober magazine

"This stripped down rock band with dual male/female vocals does have a good sound that's a cross between X, Social Distortion, Swingin' Utters and Tiger Army, but with a bit less punkabilly."
--- Grog Mutant, The Chicken Fish Speaks
