Praise for Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius

“Deninzon demonstrates that he is perhaps the finest electric violinist of his generation. Notably, he discharges scorching violin solos, performed at dizzying speed, along with various mesmerizing, innovative violin techniques.” ~ Angel Romero, Progressive Rock Central

"Every song has enough hooks to crochet a blanket big enough to cover a football stadium. Interesting chord sequences and mood changes pile one atop the other in waves of pleasant surprise. These guys rock hard enough to rip your face off." ~ John Giordano, The Progressive Aspect

“Joe Deninzon has pioneered a new standard for rock violin, much the same way Ian Anderson did for the flute.” ~ Nick Tate, Progression Magazine

“(Violinist/singer) Joe’s talents are flat out phenomenal, and the progressive rock tapestry he weaves around himself is carried out to perfection by his amazing band.” ~ Music Morsels

“(Joe) Deninzon has been called the Jimi Hendrix of electric violin… his violin swoops, howls, and dive bombs.. while charting an eccentric course that conjoins whiplash funk, spacey electronic, and progressive rock!!” ~ Strings Magazine

“I love it when artists push the boundaries of what is perceived as the norm… And I love it even more when it’s pure magic, just like Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius… I tip my hat and bow my head in awe.” ~ Act/One Magazine
