Here's what some critics had to say about The Evil Queens:

This band is raw, aggressive and full of drunken swagger, but somehow also catchy and tremendously likeable... The energy is true, their music is irony-free, and the grit is authentic. I couldn't really ask for anything else. If you didn't believe real rock and roll could exist in a bar anymore, The Evil Queens will show you how wrong you were. In A Word: Bloody. Grade: A." [The Aquarian]

The band rocks out like it's playing for free booze, but doesn't take the easy way to arena stardom. Like Clutch on a British postpunk bender, the Queens spit riffs out at odd angles, steering the vocals from forceful swagger to unhinged screams." [High Bias]

Malignant, raw and spiteful -- just how pure wholesome rock 'n' roll should be... the Evil Queens personify that spiritual hunger and simmering raucous loose canon like edge that possessed Nirvana in that interim between the brash raw as fuck youthful petulance of 'Bleach' and the refined and honed blueprint that crawled all over 'Nevermind'... So good it hurts -- essential." [Losing Today]

They're more rock than Queens of the Stone Age and more roll than the White Stripes. Singer Jacob Sundermeyer draws comparisons to a throatier, less pretentious Dave Grohl... Now that's a good band." [Detroit Metro Times]
