Vanyaland described them in a piece about their "five new favorite rock and roll bands after leaving Austin" as "…a better, cooler
Kings of Leon." Elsewhere, Perez Hilton said "This American band sounds a lot like Mumford And Sons with a bit more fun!"

Unlikely Candidates were selected as part of Taco Bell's Feed The Beat program, and "Ringer" has enjoyed extensive in-store play with major brands including Whole Foods and Guess
