Sydney’s Liz Martin is no exception, though she is exceptional..." Paris Pompour - Sydney Morning Herald "Leaping forth from the myriad of acoustic singer-songwriters is this distinctive voice of cultivated electro pop, electronica and blues... this more than worth your time". Chris Peken - City Hub "from play one... I felt an instant connection and obviously I was not alone, every spin on FBi provoked listener response, which I can assure is not the norm..."
