The following is a quote from Phil Dirt, surf instrumental critic of Reverb Central about The Concaves:
"Six five intros & as many cool vocals about the surfing life are commingled on "Alive from the Red Triangle".  This is a major step forward for Santa Cruz's The Concaves.  A very strong modern surf CD!"
