Press Reviews In a June 18,1998 Bronx Times Reporter article, headlined "Catspaw saves local rock", Fish Altieri describes Catspaw as "a young local band not poisoned or directly affected by 80s pomp or 90s power cynics...Catspaw just about saved local rock with their non-conforming nature and style...the vocals were lyrically clear. The lead guitar work very ambitious, as were the bass lines. Erica can hammer those beats like a tiny, reborn Keith Moon." Butch Modernof fAZE3 magazine says "Jasmine has an unusual yet classic pop sensibility and a wonderful intuition for melody. Catspaw has honesty, humor, intelligence and a natural talent for rocking. These New York City girls simply rev it up and go!" Richard Siegal of Online TV calls them "very wild little babes...garage punk rock and roll hillbilly amazing"; the NewYork Waste says "This band rocks out...with heart and soul"; fAZE3 adds "their live take on'Crawl Up and Die' is searing", and the Breakthrough Connections website says "good vocals and guitar work from the band...Catspaw has enough energy to keep the water drinkers happy and dancing." "It's unlike anything else coming out of our world famoud bourough!" Fish Altieri, Bronx Times Repor
