"performances that hold the essence of a barn dance infused with the energy of a squat show."

"succeeding in championing a genre-scape that is little heard north of the border"

Sara Janiszewska, Edinburgh Magazine

"Rough and Rowdy with Spirit and Feeling"

Kara Martinez Bachman, The Bluegrass Standard

"a hell of a good time"

Vertigo Summer Blues Festival, Wroclaw, Poland

"Sociograss is a Scottish band whose affinity for stretching the bounds of bluegrass is clearly evident"

"perfect instrumental acumen through a combination of verve and versatility"

"From the Highlands of Scotland to the peaks of Appalachia, Sociograss provide a seamless transition that stays true to each of those origins"

Lee Zimmerman, Bluegrass Today

"This has just this wonderfully raw, “for the joy of it” playing on it that just grabbed me immediately."

"I bought the album immediately and I don’t buy a lot of album’s."

"I kept thinking to myself, boy that sounds an awful lot like “Old Crow Medicine Show”. But what it really sounds like is a bunch of guys having a lot of fun playing this music and think of this my American friends, what a compliment that the music that they gave us now we give back to them and they are playing the music that their whole heritage helped create in Scotland for Scots and whoever else might come by."

Bill Smith, Radio Bristol WBCM (Virginia)

"exceptional versatility and sharply honed chops"

"On ‘Squirrely Riders’, the individual virtuosity and outstanding ensemble playing supports the notion that Sociograss is essentially a bluegrass band. At the same time, Made It All Up, from a band still based in Edinburgh, stands out by stretching the definition of what it means to be a bluegrass band."

Doug Deloach, Songlines

"Sociograss must surely come from somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains?"

"Fiery solos and harmonies that tug the heartstrings"

"Their spontaneity and lightness of touch, their fast and furious jamming is authentic, original and the product of a deep love and respect for their blend of Scottish and Appalachian roots. Who’s for another round?"

Lyndon Bolton, Americana UK 

"bursting with compelling musicianship and some great tunes. abundant technical skill to underpin a laid-back demeanour" 

"I needed Made It All Up to catch the passion for bluegrass." 

"deliciously slow-tempo and building into a lush, almost anthemic drawl that summons memories of the Be Good Tanyas at their best." 

Colin Randall, Salut!Live

(5 star review) 

"Ultimately though this is a feel-good album with a sound that goes well with having a beer."

Steve Johnson, The Morning Star

"Inspirational music"

"Vocal harmony heaven"

Mick Tems, Folk Wales 

"Their unique sound encapsulates elements of oldtime and early country all tied together with bluegrass sensibilities. Ripping solo breaks and soulful vocal harmonies"

Anna Massie, BBC Scotland

"it's a comforting slice of ragtime, the singing joyful and the playing foot-stompingly good."

Colin Randall, Salut!Live
