"Asheville’s Discordian Society called a “giant leap for music” "

- Posted by Jeff Fobes, Mountain Xpress (Jun 22, 2010)

"Far out is more than just an expression of the seventies, it's a goal. For a band that has taken a small step out of Asheville to perform in Knoxville they hope to take a giant leap for mankind by being the first to perform in space."
- Tarani Duncan , Knoxville Daily Times (Jun 17, 2010)

"The Discordian Society‘s new album, Primordial Soup is, like its name suggests, a true sonic melange, simmering genres, styles, influences and sounds for an end result that’s a bit too technical and orchestrated to be full-on jam, a bit to loose to be jazz and a bit too exploratory to be considered straight-forward rock."
- Ali Marshall, Mountain Express (Mar 31, 2010)

"The Discordian Society from Asheville, NC can throw down some funk with their dynamic note progressions and high energy rhythms. This eclectic group seamlessly progresses from low to high."
- Brad Winecoff, Home Grown Music Network (Jun 14, 2010)

"Wandered into the Preservation Pub sort of randomly late Friday and caught the latter chunk of a really good set by Asheville's Discordian Society. Yes they're a jam band or a groove band or whatever, but they actually really jam and groove."

"It’s rare to stumble across music that is unlike anything else. However, Asheville-based band, The Discordian Society, definitely boasts a sound of its own."
- Tarani Duncan , Knoxville Daily Times (Jun 17, 2010)

"If The Discordian Society is representative of the current music scene in North Carolina then the world is in for a pleasant surprise and North Carolina will soon be on the map on a huge scale".

"... for all the skill and care to be found on Primordial Soup, it’s pretty certain that where Discordian Society is most at home is on the stage. So, listen to the record and then catch the band in the flesh."
- Ali Marshall, Mountain Express (Mar 31, 2010)

" What seemed like an acid-tripped mix of funk, ska, rock, and punk, was punctuated by the smooth rhythm changes, precise starts and stops, and tight harmonies that some bands couldn’t do with all the practice in the world."

"The Discordian Society embodies an important evolution in modern music. They set aside the pyrotechnics and flair of the eighties and bring forth a unique combination of experimental jazz. It is safe to say the music stands on its own."- Tarani Duncan , Knoxville Daily Times (Jun 17, 2010)

"Where Discordian Society seems to hits its stride is on the rhythmic, driving jams, moving effortlessly between time signature and key changes ..."
