Here is a sample of what’s being said about Slight Return:

"Having been a freelance sound engineer for some 30 years, you can imagine some of the bands / acts i have worked for, and some of the support bands i have seen 'good and bad'. Upon a recent tour of the USA with Robin Trower as sound engineer / Tour manager i was aware that we were recording / video shooting our show in Detroit’s Royal Oak Music Theatre with a support band being filmed as well. Just another day 'i thought'. O boy how wrong was i when i heard Slight Return starting their sound check. Not just another day then i said to my backline tech, i am going out to watch these guys.Slight Return was a great, refreshing surprise. Original, funky and influenced by the greats, they rocked!' Their style and playing is a credit to the industry. If you have not seen them yet may i suggest you do. Robin said after Slight Return USA came off stage how impressed he was."
Laurie Brace- sound engineer/road manager Robin Trower Band

"Great musicians, easy to work with, total pros!"
-Jim Reid: Promoter and Talent Buyer for the DTE Energy Center, Clarkston, MI, The Palace of Auburn Hills, and The Meadowbrook Music Amphitheater.

"That band can play"- Derek Sutton- Manager Robin Trower Band


“Slight Return is Detroit’s premier funky rock band dotted with tasty sprinkles of Hendrix and Trower! A pleasure to shoot, a great addition to the JamCam Chronicles, and nice guys to boot. Serve hot!"Tom Lederman-President Jam Cam Chronicles/Concert TV


"I SAW SLIGHT RETURN FOR THE FIRST TIME ON MARCH 29TH, 2008 WHEN THEY OPENED FOR ROBIN TROWER AT THE ROYAL OAK MUSIC THEATRE. I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BY HOW GOOD THIS BAND SOUNDED! THEY ARE AN EXTREMELY TIGHT BAND WITH A FABULOUS LEAD GUITARIST AND PERCUSSION SECTION. THEY WOWED THE CROWD WITH EXCELLENT COVERS OF JIMI HENDRIX AND SANTANA SONGS WHILE WEAVING IN A FEW ORIGINALS THAT HAD A DEFINITE CLASSIC ROCK GROOVE. I WAS IMPRESSED ENOUGH TO APPROACH THE BAND FOLLOWING THE SHOW TO CONGRATULATE THEM AND EXTEND THE INVITATION TO PLAY IN GRAND RAPIDS.SLIGHT RETURN IS CARRYING ON THE TIME HONORED DETROIT TRADITION OF PRODUCING SOME OF THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL BANDS IN THE COUNTRY."SINCERELY,JOE DAUGHERTY PROGRAM DIRECTORWBFX 101.3 THE FOX GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN


“ This has got to be one of the funkiest bands on the Detroit scene yet! From the get-go, this home-grown trio mixes it up with original material that seems to blend the past with the present and the future. Think Rage Against The Machine and The Red Hot Chili Peppers meet Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower and Santana at a jam session and then go out for some barbecue afterwards. Speaking of barbecue, name one band that could title a tune “ Southern Fried Chicken” and then proceed to make the reading of a recipe appear as if their life depended on it. Definitely worth listening to!”- The Jam Rag Magazine Music Review Advisory Panel


“ Slight Return is another Detroit trio that hits like a ton of bricks and are funkier than a stack of old Parliament albums! These guys have got it together!”-The Jam Rag Magazine Music Review Advisory Panel


"...an intoxicating blend of psychedelic, "funk-adelic", paisley rock fusion with a fresh, new, edgy, urban face! Slight Return makes me sorry I missed the chance to dance naked in the mud at Woodstock but curiously longing to make "Fried Chicken". -Karen Newman-singer/songwriter/vocalist Kid Rock/Bob Seger/Detroit Red Wings


"Slight Return is Detroit’s home-grown funky, groovy, booty-shaking rock n roll band with a kick! Welcome to the D!"“Rude Jude” from Sirius Shade 45 Radio


"Great Song! A perfect anthem for our #1 Sports City!!" -Mojo Channel 955's Mojo In The Morning


"Slight Return is such a unique band. Their sound is like no other. I am proud to have Mark play two HMR Guitars. Slight Return is a band you should definitely see and hear!"-Ron CoutsOwner/LuthierHMR Guitars


“Slight Return has the most groovin, in-your-face mix of grunge, rock and rap you’ll hear! This is a tight band with stellar musician-ship and music that you can’t help but move to the first time you hear it!”- Steve Acho, Detroit singer-songwriter


"Rockin' blues with a funky beat, Slight Return is a band for guitar lovers, musicians and people who just like to dance. Every member is a pro on their instruments and the band is fearless, playing killer original songs as well as covers from Jimi Hendrix and Santana at gigs most bands wouldn't risk. I mean, when's the last time you heard a band with great sound play a Santana tune at a tailgate party?! Personable and professional, Slight Return keeps fans coming back for more and more."-Kevin NowakPresident, Detroit Tailgate, LLC
