The EC

“Remember 311? Remember the good parts of 311? Well, if you took all the good parts of 311 and added some soul-influenced vocals, At the Drive-In-esque guitars, fusion-y keyboards, and a female vocalist that could put most pop singers to shame, you might be getting somewhere near what Eclectic Collective is. But you wouldn’t quite be there yet.” –WERS 88.9 Boston"



"Eclectic Collective is a band with a unique blend of jazz, rock, rhythm and blues and social consciousness, with a little bit of the Fugees mixed in for good measure. Interesting songs and lyrics are always a good foundation to begin with. Add to that solid musicianship and the interesting male-female dynamic of their vocal duets, and one can see why Eclectic Collective possesses a recipe for success." - Michael Barbiero



"What makes their music different is the band's apparent refusal to stuff themselves into any one genre.

the diversity of musical backgrounds between them is what has produced their anomalous sound."

“The Flux is one of 2007's most thrilling, most creative, and easily one of the year's most original records to hit. The band combines a flurry of sounds to create one mind-bendingly original mash-up that will make any lover of emotional, motivating and energetic music want to open up their arms and wrap them around the next person to walk in the room.” –AbsolutePunk.net

"The nine-member band lived up to its name by singing, rhyming, jamming and conjuring memories of a time when organic rhythm ruled hip-hop, as well as a time when soulful groups such as Digable Planets got MTV airplay"
