Some Recent Press

"THIS WEEK... Stomp it out with PDXposed this week as we feature Hillstomp, our featured band. Local art is alive and well on Alberta Street, especially on Last Thursday. Watch and see! We join Storm Large during her "spa day" and we'll take you up the coast to a lovely Washington resort. Much more and this on PDXposed this week. PDXposed airs on NewsChannel 8 on Saturday nights at 7:00 pm, and Sunday nights after Sports Sunday at 9:30 Airtimes sometimes change during sports season, so check your local listing. You can also find the new show on www.pdxposed.com, and our travel shows on Comcast 'On Demand'."

"The Theater Fire, Hillstomp and O'Death provided a united, uniquely exultant blues show that was something both anachronistic and revitalizing." among other big words thanks to My Crazy Music Blog

Eureka Times-Standard says "I can't tell you how many times I've left a Hillstomp show with sore heals and sticky feet."

Eureka Reporter says "who knows if this Saturday will be Hillstomp’s last show at Jambalaya before they get huge and never come back"
