'In recent years, Indigenous music has rightly gained the attention it deserves from festival promoters across the nation. Anyone who caught The Warumpi Band at last year’s Big Day Out could testify to their power on the day. Without doubt, their inclusion on the bill helped open eyes to their music, and that of the indigenous community'.
'The same can be said of last year’s Livid, where the mix of Coloured Stone, Propaganda Klann and our own Native Rhyme Syndicate demonstrated the diversity of Australian indigenous music'.

'At the opposite end of the schedule, Melbourne .... band Propaganda Klann had the dubious distinction of opening this years event at 10.45 am; not a time when one is particularly keen to see an unknown .... band from Melbourne perform. To their credit the band could be spotted in the crowd late into the afternoon, trying to convince as many punters as possible that what they had missed was their loss'.
The Australian - Iain Sheddon - Livid Review - 4.10.99
" Propaganda Klann might not be the biggest name at Livid, but don't be suprised if they're the act everyones left talking about weeks after the event."

" Propaganda Klann - Hip shaking, lip smacking grooves with a heart of satirical rhetoric.....Keep an ear an eye out for the single Mr President..."
Rave Magazine - Emma Jane - 29.9.99
"Yet another new Australian outfit to watch out for, Progaganda Klann are possibly the first truly Australian sounding rap based outfit,melding a strong tradition of Aboriginal/Australian music with kicking rhythms, production know-how and political/social clout. The A-side 'Wik'D' in particular hits all the right notes, creating a highly individual sound by avoiding the usual pseudo American approach to the genre."
Capital Q (Brisbane) - 20.11.98
"Propaganda Klann's bio. says they have 'too much to say' and one listen to their 'Feet on the Land' single (TWA) proves that true. With song titles like "Wik'D", this is one duo who have been to the Peter Garrett school of speaking up about what pisses ya orf about Astraylia - and passed with flying colours. Losts of raps about the '10 point plan'.....not easily digestible stuff."
