Band picked by MacLeans Magazine as one of Canada's most up and coming bands for 1994... Here's what the critics said:

"We haven't heard from the Grievous Angels since1990's One Job Town, but this their third album, shows them really hitting their stride. The void you'd imagine was left by Michelle Rumball is scarcely noticed, for the now all-male line-up has responded by playing, singing and writing better than ever."
-- Network

"Watershed is a rich country-rock hybrid. The poignant songwriting of tunes such as Pot of Gold and Starting Over at Thirty, reveal a stronger country flavour than One Job Town, but at the same time the electric guitars cut a tougher, rockier edge."
-- Ottawa Citizen

"The Grievous Angels may well be one of the best bands you've never heard of. They have a traditional folk sound using such instruments as fiddle, accordion and stand up bass, but what really sets them apart from most bands is the incredible songwriting of Chuck Angus."
-- Imprint

"The first time I saw the Grievous Angels perform I was dragged along completely against my will. I knew the name vaguely
...and was expecting we-can-play-like-Nashville-even-if-we-are-from-Barrie stick country pop. Instead, a bunch of scruffily dressed, mismatched folks took to the stage. And they started to play country music like I'd always imagined it should sound. Driven accoustic guitar. Fiddle that sawed. Unabashedly Canadian."
