With over 40,000 sales the band received a cult following from authentic rock ’n’ roll enthusiasts. Two more albums followed on Rivet label-Festival: Be Cool Be Smart and The Rest of the Mighty Guys.

The Mighty Guys boast an incredible repertoire of good-time rock songs from the era of the legends - and their live performances continue to attract rave reviews:

THE SUN: “If you like genuine rock ‘n’ roll you’ll love the Mighty Guys... ”

THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: “The Mighty Guys shake it like Shakin’ Stephens never knew. Their infectious beat touches all pulsating rock ‘n’ roll hearts. They are living descendants of a young Presley, a raw Johnny O’Keefe or of southern boy Carl Perkins… Raw, joyous, teen music... Go cats go!”

ON THE STREET: “The Mighty Guys aren’t just a soundalike band. They have recreated the original 50s spirit and added their own style… It was an evening I won’t forget, for many reasons.

ENCORE: “The beat is irresistible. These guys kick up a hell of a storm and the feeling is fine. …The Mighty Guys equal Mighty Music!”

ROLLING STONE:"If you want to have a party this summer, The Mighty Guys are the shot"
