“Divan Orange was at capacity with a large crowd trying to get in to see Toronto’s DVAS…The band makes us think a little bit of Boston’s More Than A Feeling re-imagined as house music, and that formula works way better than it should. The whole Phil-Collins-on-ecstasy vibe is silly enough to be fun, and catchy enough to stick in your head for the rest of the night. The club was so steamy and sweaty that our video camera kept fogging up” – NOW Magazine
