"Young dudes taking chances, coming up aces...nailed it." -Jason Pettigrew, Editor in Chief of ALTERNATIVE PRESS

"...a well thought out masterpiece. “This Book Is My Cowardice” truly has something for everyone, from symphonic elements to dirty punk to progressive." (Rating 5/5) -EAST ORLANDO POST

"...sending the listener into a spell of sinister and calculated chaos. Overtly emotional and attractively strange...sends a euphoric tingle down your spine, aching you to come back for more." -UNDER THE GUN REVIEW

"Full of gems...tearing up the South Florida music scene one show at time, showing off their mix of melodic tones and abrasive textures." -INDIE SHUFFLE

"When it comes to his music, musician Julian Cires has some serious gravitas. Some would call it gusto or, even more bluntly, "big balls." -NEW TIMES

"It had me intently listening to what was around the next corner song after song. That's Lavola's biggest strength. The ability to draw people in and keep them guessing where the path will take them." -BENEATH THE GRID

"Sometimes reading the lyrics is like reading a diary of a serial killer. But when you hear the controlled chaos of strange noises they create it becomes something very beautiful." -AXES LEFTOVERS

"This Book is gritty, raw yet polished and accessible. It’s tough finding a balance when experimenting with new sounds, but Lavola achieved this balance and is showing others how it’s done." (Rating 5/5) -WORDKRAPHT

"The addition of the violin provides Lavola the room to explore, a range of new sounds and effects, giving them a distinct sound and style. The music soaks the room in mist, whilst a despairing lyric sears through the music like a burning lighter to flesh." -EMERGING INDIE BANDS

"The expansive arrangements take beautifully written melodies and put them against a lofty background...Cires and Dwyer’s voices come together in chilling harmonies that take the music to an even deeper place. -TROPICULT

"...Hardcore punk attack...The raw, garage band feel mixes the energy of Green Day with the playfulness of the Dead Milkmen that gives off a youthful feel to their sound." -JP MUSIC BLOG

"Powerful and innovative...Sometimes quietly, sometimes quick, sometines hard, sometimes gentle… but always rock, truly symphonic indie rock." -ROCKALTERNO MUSIC BLOG

"...a truly progressive work out that keeps growing on you. Just like epic music is supposed to." -YOUR MUSIC BLOG

"Heavy, abrasive and uncompromising, Lavola proves that if a band has the balls to dare, greatness can be attained." -RUSSIAN WINTER RECORDS

"Full of raunchy riffs, violin cameos and welcome screams. Lavola has perfected their brand of rock and the rest of Florida and beyond is paying attention." -The Atlantic Current
