    Press Reviews
    MacKay is an uncommon combination of musical,lyrical and technical skills.She's a powerful and widely dynamic singer..." -- Minneapolis Star & Tribune With an undercurrent of hookah smoke...Green Pyramids evoke a paisley July day and college music everywhere." -- Alternative Press MacKay's incisive, soulful vocals were accompanied by her minimalist, almost psychedelic guitar work and the deep,lusty rhythms of her bandmates... edgy, intense power pop." -- MTV OnlineGreen Pyramids can perform great pop songs with strong, grinding guitar melodies coated with heavenly female vocals. -- Toast"...down the hall" is anything but ordinary and wouldn't sound out of place on a modern-rock radio format -- St. Paul Pioneer Press"MackKay is sending an expressing glow of tones out from those powerchords with drifting notes swaying in the air like manic handkerchiefs. Some are soft and some tear the air to shreds"..."McGuire plays like a skilled fisherman. Meaning, he knows when to cast the line, let the line float; and when the measure comes he reels in the line like Babe Winckleman on speed.""...Melodic energy." -- Puffman Rae of Lickmag.com
