profound power of expression through their instruments - Marc Hvlac - On Stage Review
- Forq demonstrate themselves to be masters of building and releasing sonic tension, combining groove with moments of complexity before taking the music into new directions without a warning, yet it never jars or feels forced. Forq’s performance leaves little doubt that they possess a playful, enjoyable synergy between the four musicians on stage. - Jonathan Butters, GETINTOTHIS.CO.UK

- Forq’s members scratch their own initials on the mighty trunk from which grow the tangled branches of r&b, rock, blues and jazz. Forq bolsters this overt playfulness …with a flair for the sort of ferocious funk that socks you in the solar plexus first and asks musical questions later. - John Shayne, Sydney Morning Herald
