| "Vast dynamics, odd meters, tormenting vocals and a stick bass make this a band you will not soon forget. It kind of assaults your ears the way a female fronted Tool would." -usounds.com click here for the full review "Releasing their debut full-length through their own label, New York City's female-fronted Aikostar isn't waiting for anyone to catch up... Hard rock alternative music with chunks of guitar and bass that make your body squirm with excitement and borrowed energy. Kinetic riffing is one element that makes this hard but Veronica also adds her own fiery attitude that manages to bleed through the album's songs and soak your body and ears in its stingy abruptness. Nice and it's good to hear a female-fronted band that doesn't sound like Hole, The Breeders, the Cranberries, Bjork, or Alanis." - J-Sin, Smother.net click here for the full review ""Look at my shadow now! Look at my shadow now!", screams Aikostar's enigmatic front-woman, Vero in the outro of the track The Guardian, which assaulted my ears with such beautiful, yet confusing sensation - kind of like the androgyny of the whole Aikostar thing: Dark, heavy, manly, off-meter songs engulfed by a delicately angry female voice. Such is Aikostar's charm - simply, unclassifiable. And their debut album accurately portrays them as such...It is one album that one would cherish because of the mind boggling performance and the intricate arrangements... It is a record that pounds one's senses with brutal sweetness, and fills one's soul with the need to absorb itself. Verdict: An amazing record that lives up to all expectations." -Poptimesmagazine.com click here for the full review |
