"The distinct texture and sound of the music of Tone & Niche is created by the wonderful interplay of Anthony Retka's straight forward singing and guitar playing balanced with Nicole Varga's soaring violin and viola, producing a unique folk-rock fusion."
-Ralph Valdez, WDET 101.9 FM
"At the sardine-tight Whiskey in the Jar, the violin-led Tone & Niche show was, in a word, passionate. This is what Blowout is all about bands like Tone & Niche, who are terribly underestimated and never get ink, blowing the doors off a tiny neighborhood dive bar to a frantic and frothy crowd of brand-new fans."
-Metro Times, Detroit 2006
