This band has the blues growl of Everlast, with the motion and feeling of an explosion.

... a band who's only desire is to create a melting pot for their uniquely experimental words and music. ... Ya-Ne-Zniyoo is sure to get hearts pumping and creative juices flowing. Through break-up, changes in the line-up and over a decade of auditions, rehearsals and gigs, Ya-Ne-Zniyoo remains true to its purpose: to create for the sake of the art and not necessarily for the fame and fortune.

I had a dream I was playing patty-cake with baby baboons.... no kiddin. What is that song about?
* Steve Falco of SoulFist May 2000

If you smell something, it's them 'cause they're the shit.
* Daniel of Animal God

May Ya-Ne-Zniyoo gain success, although I hate their music.
* Behind The Mirror - Athens, Greece

Kenyata Sullivan directed this band to contact me...I'll have to have a few words with him (heh, heh) Anyway, Ya-Ne-Zniyoo sent me a 5 song tape and bandzine and is my head spinning. Strange music that is a style in its own. This is a band with a musical vision. How to describe that vision is a problem I'm working on. So, as I play their tape rather loudly, you can write and get a copy for yourself.

I liked the tape but it made my kid cry.
* Robin Rarick - Paramus, NJ

I had to stop listening to it because I started twitching in my sleep.

"The Dog Said" is a weird blast of thudding, ultra-loud, dangerously-charged creep show rock with an interesting, ominous beat and dramatically-bellowed psycho-babble vocals. Even better is "Time Nightmare," which sounds like a noisy, semi-gothic version of Catherine Wheel fronted by a very drunk and extremely belligerent Glen Danzig.
* The Aquarian - Montclair, NJ

Sometimes it makes me eat pea soup. Ya, soup. Hmmmm, soup. And beer. But not in the same glass.
* Mark Esposito - Washington, DC

A bit too experimental for my taste.
* Tony Fletcher - RCA Records

Neat Stuff. Very weird I might add. Couldn't think of someone else to compare it to. Take care and keep the faith.
* Dario Adamic of Zips and Chains - Roma Laurentino, Italy

I don't know a lot of things, but I do know that this is some really cool stuff. Ya-Ne-Zniyoo effectively marry poetic passion with some of the most wicked guitar sounds this side of the Hudson. [They] certainly have soul for industrial schoold sonic rockers and deserve skads of praise for another mind-tingling, spine-snapping self produced release.
* The Aquarian - Montclair, NJ

I still think you scare small children. HA!
* Kenyata Sullivan - Wilmington, NC
