• "Headshine realize their dreams with chill, acoustic "Cali" rock. After being nominated for Best Acoustic Band for the OC Music Awards last year, Headshine embarked on a massive tour around the country which culminated with a show with The Wailers. Headshine, create music which conjures up these quintessential California moments with warm-bodied acoustics, Bob Marley-inspired reggae riffs, persuasive percussion, and a fearless fader scratching that gives their sound an understated edge.

Much like the typical native Californian, Headshine is a musical mosaic of melodies effortlessly melting into each other, supported by luminous lyrics prompting the listeners towards self-compassion and positive action. This sound transmuted into feeling is the kind of experience that has prompted many a youthful daydreamer into finding their own dreams with the peaceful churn of the Pacific Ocean as their soundtrack." 106.7FM KROQ

• "The only thing more fun than riding Metrolink is the new music video about riding Metrolink. A song written by Ras from Headshine, one of Orange County's most popular local bands; "Catch a Ride on Metrolink" is an acoustical groove on the good vibes of taking the train. It features popular OC destinations near the Metrolink line, and even explains how to ride.” Watch the new commercial featuring Headshine by OCTA / Metrolink

• "Headshine, played Whitworth University in the Hixson Union Building Multipurpose Room on Wednesday, Oct 14. Between every song, they shared a story behind why they wrote it or decided to play it. Overall, their inspirations came from several different places. One song, "Go with the Flow," was written after an awful river float experience on their trip from Idaho to Utah. What was supposed to be a peaceful river excursion quickly turned into a not so pleasant situation, but it inspired them to write a song about it. "Rivers just show you something about yourself," RAS said. Their witty banter between songs kept the audience engaged and made for a more intimate setting. Their stage presence was very relaxed, and it was obvious they enjoyed playing and interacting with the audience." -Whitworthian, Spokane Washington

 

• "They were amazing." -Talent Buyer On The Rox, Roxy Theatre Hollywood

• "Everyone was raving about how much fun they had and many folks mentioned that they would love to have them back. Therefore, so would I. Keep me in mind for any other shows rolling through." -Management Gracies, Salt Lake City Utah

• "We loved having them. I don’t think I told you how much everyone enjoyed the music. They were amazing." -Management San Marcos Creek Vineyard, Paso Robles

• "They were fabulous and we will certainly use them for future events!" -Management of Villa San Juliette Winery, San Miguel

• "Headshine represents a good vibe when things automatically click and the moment is just right. It's like catching the perfect wave - the feeling of being in-sync with yourself and the elements. This synchronizing of sound and style is felt throughout the (Better Things) EP. RAS sings like an artist who has been through a lot and is only beginning to bare all. The Huntington Beach singer/songwriter has cultivated a surfer/acoustic sound with a touch of reggae and California sunshine. With the backing of major-label producer, Jim Perkins and with the premiere of his first single "Better Things" on San Diego's 91X, things are definitely looking up." -Performer Magazine
