"The mongrel-factor is upsized significantly as headliners UPSIZE unleash some '70s-style rock." (Michaela McGuire - Time Off, June 2 2006 - The Living Room)

"UPSIZE, another Brissy based band, with their amalgamation of 70's style Guitar Rock and Powderfinger-esque style, were in my opinion the best of the Fest." (Amy Stannard - Q Mag, October 1 2005 - Get Set Fest)
