“HuDost makes music for the sacred and the profane…driven by Sommer’s lush expressive alto and Hines’ skilled strumming and electric guitar licks…as sacred as a church service, without the identifiers which can separate and shame non-believers.” — Kristi Wooten (PurePop, Rolling Stone, Newsweek)
"We fell in love with award-winning duo HuDost when they released their activist anthem “Our Words Will be Louder”. Now, they are calling for the conservation of the planet with the release of their pressing new single and mesmerizing new music video, “Beat the Drum Harder.”— Eric Alper, rootsmusic.ca
“The album (Anthems of Home) is the perfect antidote to this never-ending heartbreaking divisive nation we live in and it's what we’re listening to on repeat. The songs envelop you, pouring, radiating strength, love, and light into our souls. And ultimately, once balanced and re-energized, provides a rallying call to continue to use our words, and our voices, to beat the drum harder.” - Feed Our Democracy
