"New York City has always been a base for wildly inventive music yet nothing you have heard before can prepare for Hazmat Modine. Very eclectic and wilfully eccentric, Hazmat Modine draw from American music’s rich and varied sources: blues harmonica absorbs klezmer melodies, Hawaiian slack key guitar blends with New Orleans brass, Western Swing heads to the Caribbean riding on a ska rhythm .... Here you have a band who play blues with a distinctly Oriental feel and klezmer as if it was a music shaped by New Orleans’ hookers and hustlers rather than Eastern Europe’s Jewish communities. Which means Hazmat Modine create a remarkably offbeat and good humoured groove "
