Taken from the DONT TELL album, the song Will Someone Explain was given an Honourable Mention in the current round of PeaceDriven Songwriting Awards.
"The Peacedriven Campaign is a grassroots effort with projects including the Peacedriven Songwriting Award, recognizing songwriters that use music to inspire social change!
The mission of the Peacedriven Campaign is to energize social activists as well as empower a new generation to act. Our major concerns are violence, human rights, poverty, education and environmental protection."
"Dont Tell is always melodic but there are never straight lines. The vocal lines are placed against collages of noise, very carefully indeed. Because of this, Don’t Tell is like a fresh wind on dusty roads."

"Stand-out tracks include the opening “Second Star,” a slow-burning gem on which Prophet simmers with intent, “Losers Weep,” a co-write with Stacey Earle hides an illicit secret in its poignant old-time delivery and “Hallelujah,” a simplistic ballsy rocker that wouldn’t have seemed out of place on an early Patti Smith record. There is honesty about Haskard that is endearing. Like her this is a record that comes across bold and brash at times but scrape away a little and you unearth a fragile heart of gold."
