« Andreu Martinez is an excellent guitarist, his compositions vary between the easily understoon traditional sound an a variety of the latest sounds, making them entirely original. »
- Miguel Jurado, El Pais.
« Young blood, energetic and original, can take from jazz as easily as from rock, blues or funk and return it with a stylish punch. » - Pere Pons, Avui.
« A magnificent guitarist, be it jazz, funk, rock or blues, the different styles slide easily below the agile fingers of Andreu sounding elegant and intelligent. » - Pep Tort, La Veu De l’Anoia
« A young group led by one of Spain’s foremost contemporary blues rock asset : Andreu Martinez. » - Andreu Zaragoza, Guitarra Total
« A fluid composer, expert in creating ambience and leaving the fundamental spaces open for improvisation. A guitarist with a polished and efficient style at the moment of truth, players like this you don’t see every day. » Ramón del Solo, Revista Bluespain
“Classy Fusion/Rock Barcelona born guitarist Andreu Martinez has also been a frequently familiar face amongst the live music scene within Barcelona. He has released his own debut solo album ‘Senyals de Vida’ (Signs of Life), as well as a recent live album showcasing exceptional guitar skills backed by solid musicianship. The free spirit that drives Andreu’s work navigates effortlessly between contrast found in Blues, Country and Rock.” - CDbaby.com
About Mr Hurricane Band :
« Among the songs ‘Slow Down’ gives us a chance to hear Andreu Martinez on both vocals and guitar with an excellent saturated sound and a perfect rhythm section.” “An original, modern album which escapes from traditional schemes and superbly blends blues, blues jazz fuzz and even some accents of bluegrass and alternative country. » - Kingsbee - Docteurblues
”Todos los amantes del jazz, el r’n’b, la fusión y el funk tienen una cita ineludible el próximo jueves 17 de mayo en la Sala Zacarias de Barcelona para presenciar lo que promete ser uno de los acontecimientos del año: la presentación en Barcelona del nuevo disco de Andreu Martinez Project, el soberbio ‘Fast Food’ (Batiendo Records, 2007). Andreu Martinez apenas si necesita presentación; con dos magnificos titulos a sus espaldas y una trayectoria en directo que cualquier guitarrista a su temprana edad envidiar a su tercera obra en estudio es un compendio de sus mejores virtudes.

Virtuoso, impetuoso, técnico y a la vez pasional, el estilo de Andreu a la guitarra deja sin habla a cualquiera que se acerque a su directo, sea por primera vez o como consecuencia de la adicción que provoca haber acudido alguna vez a alguno de sus shows. Asi pues, el próximo jueves 17 tienes una cita con Andreu, su Telecaster y su terceto en un marco tan �-ntimo y adecuado como el del Zac Club. No hay excusas para perdérselo…”
