Reviews

  • Jimmy Drenovsky from Mmarquettewire.org said, "Liz Cooper & the Stampede are a three-piece unit that make breathtaking ambient-rock tunes."[7]
  • NO COUNTRY-staff with NoCountryforNewNashville.com wrote, "We've had our eye on local psychedelic rockers Liz Cooper & The Stampede since they blew the roof off our Acme Feed & Seed showcase a while back."[8]
