"Jody's music is unique... but not just unique. Some people work so hard on sounding "different" that they forget to sound "good." Jody does both. The guy's got chops, on the guitar, in the studio, and as a songwriter. Bottom line, his stuff is fun to listen to!"
John M.
[singer/songwriter, producer, fan]

"...syncopation, dissonance, large doses of distortion, and chaotic samples weaving in and out of the background mix. Individually, none of these characteristics would be unusual. What is unusual is how he pulls them together into a quirky, yet listenable record."

"Whitesides is a singer/songwriter whose performances and material show lots of skill and craft without sacrificing heart or conviction. the lyrics for 'All The Things' and 'Days of Our Lives' have a knack for depicting the imagery of everyday life in interesting ways. Electric guitar licks lend a hard rock backbone to the tunes, while the artist's soulful voice acts like fine-grain sandpaper that gives his rough-hewn subject matter some compelling contours."
