“Look at them now, indeed! The Q-tones’s new CD, “Look At Us Now,” is a clinic of barbershop quartet singing. Its perfection applies to every aspect of the craft, including harmony accuracy, balance, synchronization and rhythm. Their music is even more amazing when you learn that English is a second language to these four men. You can’t ring chords any better than that!”

“This male Swedish quartet sings better in English than most American quartets. Not only do these young men sing with astounding accuracy, ringing every single chord with their locked-in tuning and their balance, but they display a genuine enthusiasm for their music. If I had to guess, I’d say that these fellows are all or mostly musicians by training and education. I particularly like it when each voice in a barbershop quartet seems to own his part, his particular role in the ensemble. You always hear this lead, who sings with style and clarity. The bass has a resonant buzz that sets up the lock and ring on every single chord. The baritone skips around effortlessly, now a big fat fifth between the bass and the lead singer, now a light third above the melody - quite enviable. The tenor is always pretty, always in tune, always accurate, and a joy to listen to. These guys sing as accurately as I can imagine. Seems to me they’re on their way to the top of the worldwide barbershop quartet experience.”
