CD Verdict 9 out 10
Usually I am not too fond of this kind of music, progressive jazz rock, most of such bands are to me quite boring . . But my oh my was ONOFFON a surprise, this album is quite punchy and the songs are . . well . . really good infact. ONOFFON adds a special flavour to their music, adding harmonica into some of their songs, which gives kind of cajun-taste to the compositions . . refreshing I would say. Allover this album is great, so - if you're planning to buy some Jazzrock, I will highly recomend ONOFFON. GFZ

Progressive Rock has finally found a savior with the California-based trio ONOFFON. (..) I have no complaints about anything on the album; I only wish there could be more. I recommend Surrender Now to anyone that likes decent rock music, and I hope that their next release will be as good as their first

CD(s) of the Month (A must for your collection): ONOFFON - Surrender Now
Believe me that it is difficult to sit here, month after month, and proclaim with regal audacity one CD as the best over the others. There are so many interesting artists around the world and so many different tastes that the selection is difficult at best.
But when I get a CD like ONOFFON - Surrender Now - the selection becomes easier. Southern California's ONOFFON (Don Lake on lead vocals, guitar, and harmonica,
Von Babasin on bass and keyboards, and Dave Goode on drums) masterfully blend progressive rock, spacey atmospherics and jazz creating a concoction that is polymorphic, enticing and improvisingly exciting."
