You could compare the CD with a roll of candy in different flavors, sometimes you think of R.E.M., or Map Of Wyoming, Gene Clark, The Beatles, The Coal Porters before they went bluegrass or just of Sting! All for just a short moment, as Firefly is most of all themselves: a band instigated by guitar with a strong rhythm-tandem, flawlessly fusing vocals and a good sense of humor!

This three piece from Waterloo are one of the more promising Canuck bands appearing at the moment.

"enjoy" is a bit of an understatement, I'm afraid...I just love it!

Firefly sneaked up on us hitting the mark time & time again.

This Cambridge trio makes the grade with a bit of '60s-style psych-pop and a whole bunch of countrified rock. Click Here (then, scroll way down!)

If these guys were American, they would be on the cover of the CMJ.

Canadian rock and roll. A touch of roots, a touch of rock, and the spirit of the mellow-side of Neil Young. Put a log on the fireplace, pour a fifth of whiskey, and put on Made Me Glad. Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

After working the daily grind and feeling a need to wind down, Firefly is like an old friend. Reminds me of past days when life was simpler and more pure. It’s nice to know that people are still playing "real" instruments and these 3 guys have a clean soul backing them up.

Freddy Celis - Roots Times (translated from Dutch)
"Made me Glad" overall is a nice LP. Great sounding music with a country flavor in any case, you are at the right place, with Firefly.

Nick Bailey interviewed by Ric Taylor - View Magazine.
Made Me Glad bristles with a pop flair but remains grounded in the earthy roots and rural routes of Firefly’s collective upbringing.

Amy Leask - www.monkeybiz.ca
Most impressive are their lyrics, which are philosophical, poetic, and unique. Their sound and their message are, first and foremost, heartfelt and sincere.
