"Wampus Multimedia is one of the best indie labels in the country -- one that really feels like an indie. They expose high-quality artists unfamiliar to many, and don't try to saturate the market with too many releases. I can't remember the last time I was disappointed by a Wampus release, and, more often than not, their discs end up on my year-end best-of list." --Roy Opochinski, Groovevolt.com
"Wampus must now be one of the strongest indie labels in the country." --Fleabomb.com
"Wampus Multimedia is a label that is setting a different standard. They are on a mission to win your mind, heart, and ears." --Keith Hannaleck, MusicDish
