    Press Reviews
    "For fans of early PJ Harvey. Furthering the explosive elements of seminal punk. " -Gary Savelson, Demo Diaries "Elkins' dark lyricism gets a shade darker on The Late Night Plays, even recalling the twisted intensity and dynamic range of early Throwing Muses or PJ Harvey. Elkins and her bandmates have evolved into one of the local music scene's most powerful combos, largely due to the punch of Elkins' performances and her finely crafted songs." -Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Blinding bursts of the Pretenders' pop smarts meet Social Distortion's semi-metallic buzz, while pages torn from a confessional diary float above the wreckage."-Flagpole "Elkins' whisper-to-a-scream intensity is hotter than the radiator on a 1970 Ford LTD in August." -Southeast Performer "What's most impressive here is the band's unapologetic, late-'70s garage/grit aesthetic. Elkins pens powerful, dense tunes that hit and run with deceptive ease. If Concrete Blonde's music ever moved you, this will suit you perfectly." -Creative Loafing "Alastor's combination of punk anger and energy, quirky pop structures and confessional lyricism owes just as much to Patti Smith as Belly. Rockers like "Deadfall" and "Allegheny" are just as sleazy and energetic as Iggy & the Stooges or the New York Dolls." -Prick Magazine
