 Twelfth Night Reviews
Portrayals and character were always high on Robert Sledge's mind as he wrote music for the now-defunct pop trio Ben Folds Five.
But instead of wondering what people would surmise about him or his band when they heard his music, Sledge was concerned for a different set of people: a king, a queen and a court in romantic disarray.

 Ben Folds Five: New Geeks On the Block (NY Rock)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
While Folds is every inch the piano virtuoso – whether sitting at, beating up or dry-humping his tool of trade – Sledge and Jessee eagerly kept pace.
Sledge poured on the fat, fuzzy basslines and supersonic ad libs, while Jessee tore into his kit as if he were intent on pounding it into an early grave.
Their live sound, accordingly, was ear-poppingly loud, which helped send the jam-packed, predominantly clean-cut-college-kid crowd into a frenzy of hip swiveling and toe tapping.

 The Music Box: Hobex - U Ready, Man? (Album Review)
There is hope, perhaps, as North Carolina’s Hobex seems hell-bent on a singular mission — to serve up grooves that resurrect the classic sounds of Al Green, Sly Stone, The O’Jays, Curtis Mayfield, Santana, and War.
Produced by former Ben Folds Five bassist Robert Sledge, U Ready, Man? — Hobex’s third outing — soars right from the opening notes of Maybe It’s Me.
Within each song, the band leaves plenty of room to take flight, so much so that one can only imagine in a concert setting how high So Far Away climbs, how hard the funk of Playin’ Games is pushed, or how wildly the instrumental Ode to Billy G swings.

I would recommend that you buy it (should be a collectors item pretty soon as the band just broke up - confirmed to me in an e-mail from Snuzz himself!) Only criticism: bit short (then again, it is only an EP).
