"The Syndicate is a fusion of sincere, intelligent, well-crafted lyrics, & music that kicks ass! Curtis Murphy, Joel Hellman, Justin Apergis, & Brian Mendes comprise one of the tightest bands I've seen that deliver matter of fact, expressive & warm vocals, catchy melodies, jaw-dropping riffs, fierce grooves, & a helluva lot of charm & radiance on stage.
