Press Reviews Amanda Jones has been compared to the girl bands and female artists of the past…like The Bangles, Go-Gos, Pretenders, 10,000 Maniacs, Til Tuesday and Joan Jett…and, while it’s easy for anyone to compare Amanda Jones to their female predecessors and major influences at first blush, delving a little deeper you’ll find the similarity of sound and feel, good songs and subject matter to be primary for the comparisons. Press says...“Their recent recordings show an impressive degree of skill and solid songwriting under the pop/rock sheen. …very promising…sound a lot like classic Bangles tracks. Solid playing and lilting voices sweeten the mix.” Gregory Nicoll (Creative Loafing)“The demo has been locked in my tape deck for months…Teresa spins songs that remind you of a heavier Bangles/Go-Go’s mix, without any of the sickening ‘give us points for being girls’ aura that bands like this usually reek of…these women can rock! ” James Mann (Ink 19, Atlanta Press)“The songs are great!” Steve Craig (WNNX-99x)“They’re in the running for the lead in a Russ Mayer version of the Rolling Stones. A new American Western approach to mid-60s pop. Distinctive, good songs.” David T. Lindsay (Stomp & Stammer)
