Dave Attrille of Metallivine Zine (UK) review of "Refuel"
Excerpt:A band well positioned to become outstanding in their field, (apply huge groan in this space) Scarecrowz are one of too many reasons why Canada continue to steal one of the very upper rungs in the rock music industry.

Zeitgeist and The Rocker
Off to the Canadian colonies now for some hard rock meets metal. Scarecrowz are the band and despite the appalling spelling are actually quite entertaining. They’ve been on the go in various guises since 2000 although only founding member and vocalist/guitarist Ger Madden is around from those days. He’s now augmented by Julian Leblanc on bass and Francis Gregoire. on bass with J-L Bourgie temping on lead guitar and they make a fair fist of their slightly retro sounding hard rock. The metal side comes mainly from the vocals and he guitar solos and it does lift the material. The also throw in a few Clutch / CoC moments which give a southern flavour to proceedings. It’s not all top drawer so you may want to try before you buy but you won’t go far wrong with ‘Octane’, ‘ Smoke & Mirrors’ or ‘Chicks in White Pants’. Yes, really.August 6, 2014

Frontman Ger Madden has an infectious growl in his voice that channels vocal greats like Lemmy and Hetfield. The growl is there, always present and always awesome. It gives the music style and attitude that is lacking from most. The voice is combined mostly with straightforward rock licks and grooves.February 15, 2014
Andrew Depedro – KNAC.com
“SCARECROWZ whose blend of hard rock and southern rock have been a staple on the local music scene since their inception in 2000. Fronted and managed by founding member Ger Madden and featuring the soulful and crunching guitar work of Kevin Jones, SCARECROWZ have attracted a sizeable following both in Ottawa and abroad with their sound drawing comparisons from METALLICA and KISS to CLUTCH and CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. Frequent lineup changes over the years had often brought the band down at times but never out and they've been consistent with putting out new albums on a timely schedule, their most recent disc being 2012's Uprising (their sixth). This show at first seemed to be a marginal draw mostly because of the crappy weather but once Ger and Kevin fired up some solid blues/doom metal riffs leading into tracks such as "Creepsmoke" and "Rock 'N Roll All Over You" the floor was filled in no time. They even dedicated a new song, the fast-paced road rager "D.U.I.", to Justin Bieber in”July 2013

Metalian Webzine, Anna Tergel – Uprising Review
Scarecrowz is a band from Ottawa and the digipak looks professionally done and sounds professionally recorded. Every time the CD goes into the player though so many sounds blare out that it is likely the band members are carrying different influences. Creepsmoke is an instrumental, but after that the multiple sound sources come into play. With many exceptions, the songs are generally comprised of competent guitars, undesirable vocals and the steady beat of the drums, but without notice each mentioned element can transform into the opposite of that description. The songs have variation and distinct elements. Let me demonstrate. Troubles begins with a Bolt Thrower riff. Scarecrowz actually has a pattern of starting heavy and crushing, but the lyrics of troubles then sing about rock and roll. Right Hand of God begins with a cutting heavy metal riff and some distinct percussion. The vocals suffer or struggle at first before picking up the pace and melody, which suits the singer more. The melodic soloing shows the guitarist is adept. Strange, look at these guys and they look like they drink at the pub and stand around all week doing nothing. That cannot be since these songs are arranged and varied and the disc is a full-length of 46 minutes! Scared Inside has definite commercial potential. It is melancholy but heavy, has a skilled arrangement and backing vocals. For even more sounds, there is D.U.I. which ahs a Guns & Roses start and is a regular hard rock tune. The sound makes sense since the song is the band’s tribute to Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil. The next one is called Alter Of Life. Could it be about a New Year’s resolution? Coffee & Cocaine is probably a great business idea. Its start is like a Rush strum before becoming Poison! Big Black & Beautiful is back to GNR and is presumably about the singer’s old black Chrysler a.k.a. pimpmobile. One For The Road doesn’t exactly end the disc. It could be a Pink Floyd song from circa 1974 before turning before GNR once again. Told you it is all here.December 30, 2012
Markus Ganzherrlich – rockmetalbands.com – Uprising review from Germany
Although the logo might make one think of a Thrash, Death metal or something similar band, the three Canuck musicians have been dealing with Groove/Stoner metal since 2000; there's actually some occasional energetic (not threatening) Thrash element, yet not enough to stick them into that category.
As far as I'm concerned, this is their fourth studio album, self-produced in digipack, showing fairly good sounds and a satisfactory mixing work; as to the lyrics, they vary from life events, feelings, situations and other mundane topics, with the exception of Right Hand of God.
