"Incendiary and emotional rock."
Ruta Fox - Exposure Magazine

"Tuneful and intelligent rock...look for a light-hearted then intensely dramatic set...a rave recommendation."
Dave Zimmer - Bam Magazine

"...Becker has been tagged by the press for his writing and recordings as well as live solo appearances on both coasts, and a long series of crowded L.A. shows with The Mayflower Slaves garnering excellent reviews for their intense lyrics and Becker's vocals." -- Music Connection

"Becker takes on the oh-so-common malaise of contemporary life - dysfunctional relationships, shrinking civil rights, hostile takeovers - with savagery, wisdom and wit. The tall, dark and intense Becker hails from the spiritual space of New Hampshire where the state's motto jives with his own: 'Live Free Or Die.'" -- Hunter Drohojowska Philp: Author, Contemporary Art Critic - KCRW Art Talk

Lyrics here soon.

Jose plays on this track but it's Mr. Robert Richards pictured in the video,
and performing and recording as a Mayflower Slave in their last years
of shows and sessions. Jose had parental duties and very much encouraged
us to continue with Robert and we had his blessing.

RIP Dayna. Co-founder and Leader. Courageous, strong and sensitive.
Massively inspiring as a dedicated and caring advocate with presence
for others that were being treated for breast cancer; and we donated
a track that a patient has selected for a compilation album being produced
to help her with medical expenses. Dayna was always caring for others
like that; and she was still working as long as she possibly could.
Getting sessions, endorsements and still studying at Northridge too.

She was my closest and most reliable friend and longest band-mate ever;
We miss her and are always listening for her...
