“And finally, the awesome, Juno-nominated Mr. Something Something (easily one of my favourite band-names in all of music) brought the evening to a rollicking conclusion with their superfunky Afrobeat concoctions. What amazes me about their music is that in spite of all the busy-ness of the horns, guitar, bass, drums and vocals (not to mention the on-stage dancer and lead singer Johan Hultqvist’s mesmerizing and tightly controlled flailing) there is a kind of spare-ness to the arrangements that almost let you visualize lines of music spilling off the stage and spreading among the dancers in the house - each one a kind of personal muse for movement.”
- Jowi Taylor, CBC Radio Two
“If you were with us at Supermarket on Friday for ‘On the Map’ you know what these guys are capable of. Everybody in the room was dancing, me included, terrifyingly enough.

If you’ve never seen them before, trust me when I tell you that they put on a fantastic live show.”
- Matt Galloway, CBC Radio
