                                      Faster Gun’s been very fortunate to have many friends in the media!
                                           Here are just a few of the quotes collected over the years:

 -Faster Gun is Saskatchewan’s top band right now and there set showed why.
  They have the look, the solid sound and the stage presence to make it to the top of the Canadian scene.
                                                                                  - John McLaughlin (The Province, Vancouver BC)

 - Faster Gun make their sophomore album appearance with Something Real. The title track has earned some national airplay, and
   several other tracks are certain to generate similar interest, with the topical message song, "He's Never Been There",  a particular
   ear grabber. Dean Kush's vocal talent is best captured on the torchy love ballads, with winners here coming in "Could You Love Me
   Girl?" and "Standing Here".
                                                                                                                                           - Larry Delaney (Country Music News)

- On stage or in the studio, Faster Gun is proving that they've got what it takes. Songs, talent, desire and ability to be great all around entertainers.
                                                                                                                                        - Garth Stone (Music Director formerly of Country 92)

- The 3rd single release from the Something Real CD is “Could You Love Me Girl”?. Dean Kush again shines on this latest release
– he also wrote the tune.
                                                                                                                          - Country Music News (Saskatchewan Report)

- Faster Gun is a great example of a band that can perform consistently for more than a decade at venues ranging in size
  from small-town bars to giant country festivals.
                                                                                                                                 - Paul Birch – The Leader Post
