Press Reviews "...Amanda and Rachel were perfectly charming and enjoyable. And thankfully, there was none of that poppy, bubble-gum girl power crap. No, this was bare, stripped-down, gritty, distorted electric guitar and beautiful melodious vocals." ~Fairfield County Weekly "The music comes through and grabs your earlobes firmly (It's a pleasure and pain thing). They rock, be sure to check them out!" ~Mental Drippings
