“I saw 'Ockham's Razor' performing with the Chieftains a few days and it DEFINITELY convinced me of just how excellent they were. The crowd was almost more enthusiastic listening to them then they were for The Chieftains, the main act. After hearing them, I just had to get their album. This is a great addition to any music library.”

" I was introduced to these guys about a year ago....at my local pub. Although they are not big time like Flogging Molly, they are right up there in quality and talent, if not better. The band mates themselves have quite unique personalities, each adding their own flavor to the band. I would recommend this album to anyone, it's all I listen to while driving.”

Tacoma's Weekly Volcano review
"A crossbreed of the traditionalism of the Chieftains and the hard stomp of the Pogues, Seattle's own Ockham's Razor take the Gaelic-Celtic genre into the 21st century with a keen sense of the past coupled with a progressive attitude that is entirely fresh."

Celtic MP3s.com review
"Mixing traditional Celtic music with their own brand of energy, the band has been hailed for bringing "kind of a Gaelic-Celtic flavor with an interesting pop sensibility" to the Celtic music world. In fact, they are known for adding a youthful twist to traditional Celtic songs."

"Ockham's Razor is a group of young and talented musicians with and Irish rock sound, interwoven with haunting notes and energetic rhythms. They interpret traditional folk tunes in a progressive and stimulating way that leaves the audience listening.

Fremont Solstice Festival
Ockham’s Razor is a Celtic fusion band, specializing in traditional and original material, presented in a new and often surprising way. Comprised of Kris Clements on voice and whistles, Katie Corcoran on fiddle, Ben Ireland on voice and guitar, and Randy Whitelock on djembe and percussion, they are bringing new ideas into traditional Celtic music without compromising the original intent of the songs. Their music’s fresh aesthetics and the exuberance with which they perform are something to behold. They are currently gigging in and around Seattle and are working on their full-length debut album, due this fall

Fan Review
Hey there... you guys are awesome, I went to your shows with Culann's Hounds in San Rafael and the Blackthorn Tavern whilst you were touring in CA and loved it.
--Barb - Fan from California show
Ockham’s Razor put on one great show! They were highly recommended by one of our best bands, Culann’s Hounds. Once the Hounds proclaimed
that Ockham’s Razor was great I knew they would fit perfectly in The Blackthorn.
