MHZ- "Trouble Child" lyric video by English Dave Reilly
Press:
​
"Drawing on influences ranging from Seattle Grunge to Woodstock royalty, Mhz plowed through a fairly heavy 12 song set, long on crunching rhythms and peppered with some fine riffing by Brent Hertz. Rob Cardone handled all but one of the lead vocals, (Vinny Greco stepped up for the original, "Running in the Rain" while also adding acoustic seasoning to the mix) adeptly showing off a fine mix of biting angst and ominously dark singing. Their powerhouse rhythm section is comprised of the complex stylings of drummer, Ralph Prisco and the intricate runs of bassist Chris Yee. The latter pair form a highly-effective pocket, but they're also quite active driving the songs with creative runs and dynamic flourishes throughout the set. Tracks such as "Trouble Child," "Blakk Rayne" and "Shades" are not aiming for pop immortality but they are highly-effective, brooding adventures in punch and counterpunch... Mhz had an uncanny sense of just-right changes of pace for the night... By the time they brought the set to an exclamation point with a medley of "The Protest Song" and Ten Year After's "I Want to Change the World," Mhz had steamed through an impressive night of two-fisted rock full of shadows and ominous overtones."

“Rockers & Beer Lovers, today the review is special. We have a band that sent us their material for release, direct from Long Island, USA... In the play we have the MHZ (Mega-Hertz) album, Staged Incidents. The band consists of Rob Cardone (guitar and vocals), Brent Hertz (guitar and keyboard), Vin Greco (acoustic guitar, guitar), Chris Yee (bass and cuica) and Ralph Prisco (drums). You can feel the riffs and brass that this band breathes the blues, influenced by the Rolling Stones, but with a more torn and aggressive vocal, it makes you want to jump in several tracks. A very eclectic album, with tracks from Reggae, Funk and even a bit of Punk on the track Blank Card. My favorite is Sunday Bitchin Blues that already opens the record very well, but my favorite is Trouble Child, with a striking harmonica and very classic rock vocal. Staged Incidents is a record that accompanies a good circle of friends enjoying a good Rock Blues and drinking beer; ...I liked, congratulations MHZ.”

“Beneath the Sun Rehearsal & Recording Studios in Hicksville, helmed by producer Mick James, continues to draw the cream of area musicians. In to lay down some tracks... MHZ, the hard rocking blues band featuring top area musicians Vin Greco, Chris Yee, Brent Hertz, Rob Cardone, and Ralphie Prisco, who have a new album to be released quite soon.”
