(www.edewaard.com)   \"Edewaard has a sound that is both all their own, yet eerily familiar.\" -Convozine    \"Smooth, melodic, & laid back sound that I just eat up.\" -Skope Magazine   “If I had to describe this band\'s sound with just one word, it would be \'rich\'. The songs straddle the line between rock & pop, but it\'s the textures that really grab the attention; you don\'t so much listen to these songs as you find yourself surrounded by them.\" -Incognito Magazine
