Here are some early reviews by music professionals:

"The music of Zanagroove, a young new band on the rise in Taos, NM, is strangely reminiscent of Isaac Hayes, Talking Heads and The B-52's rolled into an original package. Funky, fun and danceable, their freshly recorded demo tracks, while a bit raw and unrefined, reflect the captivating energy of the band's live performances. Zanagroove reveals the essence of what many successful bands are made of - gutsy raw energy, solid song-writing by Brooke Zanetell and creative instrumental riffs by guitarist Philip Handmaker. There is definite potential here. Keep a close ear out for Zanagroove as they solidify their unique style and progress in their musical evolution."

"Zanagroove will light your fire! Funny, fast, and funky, their music makes you laugh, dance and even think! Zanetell has an original lyric flair as both writer and lead singer and she's assembled a band which compliments her original, eclectic style of music. This is true-blue, let your hair down, get down and party music!"
