"All the angst ridden energy of Social Distortion and the Clash mixing with the pop sensibilities of the Psychedelic Furs."  - L.A. Weekly, L.A., CA.

"
Choice Pick." - Village Voice, N.Y., N.Y.

"A great album. I can't quit singing the songs to myself!"
- Flipside, Pasadena,
CA.


"An anthemic punk album, leaning very heavily in a Jesus and Mary Chain/Flesh For Lulu post punk direction. Well crafted, stylish pop music. A terrific rock LP!"
- Now Wave Magazine, York, PA..

"Man oh man, is this good!" - Ink 19, Talahasee, FL

"These guys ROCK."
- Big Takeover, N.Y., N.Y.

"The perfect synthesis of glam, punk, and the sharp songwriting of the Psychedelic Furs and Jesus and Mary Chain. These guys could make radio listenable again."
- Hit List Magazine, Berkeley, CA.

"
Wonderfully angst ridden." - City Paper, Rochester, N.Y.

"
Glam punk that's pretty fun and even a little danceable. Libertine mixes a pseudo new wave sound with some punk attitude along the lines of Billy Idol. Mellow enough for potential MTV stardom, could they be the next big thing?" - Shredding Paper, Berkeley, CA.

"Some of the best original punk rock in years.
" - Rude International, Boston, MA

"Melodic and moody. What sets Libertine apart from the legions of punk revivalists is the infusion of post punk influences; it's's not hard to hear touches of bands like the Cure in Libertine's music. The new wave sensibilities don't dull their hard edge as much as make it shine more. Add their unabashed trash-superstar mentality and permacool stage presence, and Libertine are the total rock and roll package.
" - Art Voice, Buffalo, N.Y.

"For fans of the Clash, Johnny Thunders, Rancid. Top notch." (A & R Pick) - C.M.J., N.Y., N.Y.

"Somewhere between D Gen and Orgy, with Social Distortion's tattoos.
" - Final Word, Raleigh, N.C.

  "Raspy vocals, heartfelt lyrics, extremely catchy songs, and well, the guys in the band are just damn cool looking.
" - Hit List Magazine, Berkeley, CA.

"One of my favorite new bands." - Exene, X, L.A., CA.

"Libertine ROCKS." - Joey Ramone, Ramones. N.Y., N.Y.

"Best opener we've had in 5 years." - Nikki Sixx, Motley Crue, Hollywood, CA.

"5 stars." (highest rating) - Ox Magazine, Germany

"Libertine actually have gorgeous moments that transend their influences. And they know how to write a solid hook without reeking of radio pop singledom." - Lollipop, Boston, MA.

"A glammy mix of anthemic vocals, infectious sing along melodies, and brightly cutting riffs that recall the Misfits, Dead Boys, Motley Crue, and Social Distortion.
" - Cleveland Free Times, Cleveland, OH.

  "Sneering and cool, it's obvious why this band is gathering so much attention, they have all the necessary attitude with the songs to back it up.
" - RHIG, Toronto, ONT.

"Sleazy, punky, tattooed, make-up wearing, slicked-back-and-quiffed haired rockers. Belvy voice is cut to shreds even more than Tyla's (Dogs D'Amour).
" - Black Velvet, England.

 
"The bastard offspring of the Clash and Psych Furs going for drinks with the ghost of Hanoi Rocks." - Ox Magazine, Germany

"Billy Idol meets the Swingin' Utters. Fuck these glamour cakes." -
Maximum Rock and Roll, Berkeley, CA.
