 Hilltop Hoods: The Hard Road - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Hoods’ breakthrough was The Calling (in fact their fourth album, though the first to receive widespread attention, even in Australia), the first Aussie hip-hop group to reach Platinum status.
Hilltop Hoods’ two MCs, Suffa and Pressure, have similar-sounding voices and, though the accent is easily discernable, even faster passages are polished by almost ten years’ recording experience: this doesn’t sound like a novelty any more.
And for the Hoods a big accomplishment—a consistently engaging and enjoyable album that doesn’t flaunt its Australian-ness but incorporates it wholly into the fabric of the music.

 X-Press Online: HILLTOP HOODS - Hard Road To The (Hill)top   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Hilltops aren't any more bragalicious than the next MCs, and they continue that modesty by recognising their roots and dedicating the current album to Flak, an MC from the Crossbred Mongrels.
But, like their album title suggests, the Hoods are still working hard, and are continually imprinting their sound and their ideals on the music industry and public at large.
No doubt, many will try to reproduce their sound in coming years, yet only the Hilltop Hoods really capture the vibe, and they'll be bringing it our way on Saturday, April 22, at Metro City and on Sunday, April 23, for an all ages gig at Heat Nightclub.
