Entertainment Weekly
“…unites punk recklessness and new-wave tunefulness with little regard for musical niceties. The rising Iowa band’s “Starlight” tumbles headlong with fist-pump hooks and towering vocals.” 30 music - "There truly seem to be no superfluous or gratuitous sounds on any song, everything melds cleanly and beautifully with calculated purpose – an amazing debut. The Beat Strings deserve a collective pat on the back, from all those artists who have tried, but failed so miserably before." RWS Magazine - "What the songs lack in enunciation, they more than make up for in emotion, and that is what Beat Strings are essentially about - raw emotion, the kind that comes from bad relationships, sexual desire, and a little bit of hard living. The result is a powerful collection of music that will make you want to dance, drink, make love, and pound the walls in fury."
