“Ensemble Offspring just oozes personality. A lot of groups can play at a high level. What makes Offspring really special is that after a concert, you feel like you know each and every one of them. They are a ‘band’ in the truest sense of the word.”
David Dramm
Matthew Whiteside succinctly describes Ensemble Offspring as “fucking amazing!”
