The kind folks over at the Dallas Morning News posted this about Zykos on Sunday. This is mighty sweet, although Catherine has been in the band since the beginning. Heh.

Who deserves to be a 2008 music success? POP MUSIC: Which Texas acts are worthy of big-time success?
Zykos Austin's Zykos raised many eyebrows and much industry interest as a quartet a few years ago with two CDs full of inventive and passionate lo-fi rock explorations. But the addition in early 2007 of keyboardist-vocalist Catherine Davis to guitarist-frontman Mike Booher's soul-laced exclamations had caused a paradigm shift in both the band's general appeal and somewhat kinky and moody indie pop. The four songs on its latest recording, Keep It Light EP, makes most hot-to-trot Brooklyn-based rock acts sound like they're merely tuning up. The title track sounds like Explosions in the Sky mixed with Nick Cave, and "October Rain" feels like a Joe Cocker anthem by way of the Doors, Billy Joel and Eisley. The ideas are original, the execution novel and the direction smart and recognizably Texan. M.D. {WebAudio} Hear music, watch videos and learn more at guidelive.com /musicblog.
