'Strutter
'Zine' 2021 |
| "...The
resulting same titled mini CD is a strong classic real rock and roll
record with punk and sleaze elements..." "...They are definitely influenced by the great NEW YORK DOLLS, THE RAMONES, THE DAMNED, DEAD BOYS, IGGY POP and such on the 5 included songs..." and '‘...It's mostly straight-ahead uptempo rock and roll with no-nonsense and it's done very well here, including strong vocals, quality production and 5 hard-hitting catchy tunes that will appeal to both punk, sleaze and rock and roll fans out there, with as highlights definitely Mainline, Rocket red and the superb almost glamrock sounding Denmark street..."

'Festival

| "...this
debut album, however, sees the four musicians together for a punk
‘n’ roll album old style, which recalls Iggy Pop, The New York Dolls
and sometimes The Ramones..." "...Starting the record with ‘With my machines’, a rhythmic song which states the power of Terri’s voice.... Less than 3 minutes to start in a pure rock ‘n’ roll style, which reminds New York Dolls and Joan Jett..." "...‘Mainline’, the second track reminds of Mike Ness under a rock ‘n’ roll attack..." and '‘...'Denmark Street’ follows, maybe the best song of the album, with its mix of punk and rock, back vocals and powerful lyrics..."

'Punk Rocker'
2013 |
| "...Really
appreciate this EP arriving as I'm a massive fan of anything Miss
Texas Terri's and her infamous female Iggy Pop drawl routine puts
her name too. Which is a punk rock pleasure to witness both on record
or especially live..." "...With My Machines; offers a scuzzy guitar riff you recall from god knows where, but fits her vocal style completely..." "...Drum rolls and guitar riffs signals 'Rocket Red' which could quite possibly be written about Miss Terri's big red lips, you just wanna kiss..." and 'Denmark St' has an almost Heartbreakers swagger as it celebrates being dumped in such hallowed surroundings complete with cool backing vocals and a Thunders solo you could die for..."

a glam-trashed, punk-trashed, sleaze rock throwback? I'm talkin' Iggy
& The Stooges, Damned, Stiv Bators, New York Dolls, and Ramones, to
namedrop a couple of VJ influences..." "...These 'Junkies hail from London...but when they decided to grab Austin's Terri for vocal duties, they created a whole new kind of monster. Hints of that Tex & The Horseheads' Texacala Jones California whiskey-soaked attitude can be found in her singing, but so can the tones of Joan Jett and Wendy.O Williams..." "...This is just a fast, five-song explosion of electric mayhem, but that's probably a good thing - any more and my head would explode!.." Chuck Foster, The Big Takeover Magazine |

band fronted by the legendary Texan and featuring members of The Machines

classic glam-punk style - think of Brian James jamming with Mick Ronson
and the Heartbreakers acting as the backing band?..." "...Plenty of catchy tunes, this will get you stompin' and having a real cool time...." Andy P, Fear and Loathing Fanzine |

is powerful, full on and cracks along at a fair ole pace. Texas Terri
has been on the music scene for 20 plus years and her superb throat
ripping vocal style fully justifies her reputation as one of the foremost
punk vocalists on the circuit..." "...With driving drums, thumping bass and blistering guitar hooks...Formed by various members of The Kronstadt Uprising and The Machines they are as an exciting and accomplished band as you'd want to junp into a mosh pit to.

result is a concentrate of old school, simple, dirty, mosh-inducing
punk, catchy like the Ramones, easy like Social Distortion, crudely
sexy like Iggy Pop, with a nostalgic taste of early Hanoi Rocks thrown
in on that ‘Denmark Street’ which – as you might have guessed – is
already a favourite of ours..."

are no frills and fancies in the sound here. It's a raw but impeccably
tight guitar-bass-drums kickabout, with Terri's vocal - sometimes
a sardonic drawl, sometimes a blues-diva rasp - ripping it up over
the top..." "...The classic rock 'n' roll break-up song 'Denmark Street' immortalises what is probably now the last remaining rock 'n' roll thoroughfare in London W1, but it's on 'With My Machines' that the band take Iggy Pop by the scruff of his neck and give him a big sloppy kiss...."

| "...Drums
roll, strings cut through, we move on with sharded eloquence - into
what I deem to be the best of the lot. (Rocket Red) The first verse
opens with more lubricity, more relaxation in the rhythm and so the
triumph factor moves up several notches...I am finding a greater texture
to this one and more layers within the woven fabric of noise as well
as a more DIY infected end result..."
"...I am gonna keep a close eye on this lot though and in truth this is worth a punt. If the band are ever up this neck of the woods I'll be there and I am expecting a real raucous tear up with many new songs exploring new pathways of dinnage...." Dave (OMD), Fungal Punk Webzine |

'Uber
Rock' Webzine March 18th, 2013 Vampire Junkies Featuring Texas Terri - CD Review by Dom Daley |
| "...'Denmark
Street' is the outstanding track on offer here on an EP of high quality.
A great melody and arrangement and a middle eight that has some thunderous
drumming and bass that is raw, emotional and full of passion whilst
Texas Terri narrates over the top before a blistering lead solo kicks
in. What a top tune!..." "...Five songs isn't nearly enough and I am left wanting more which can only be a good thing. From the heart of old school punk/garage rock there is a line-up here that has the chops to really kick out the jams, and with a song as strong as 'Denmark Street' in the arsenal it's a band I'd like to hear more of please..."

gang parlance the guitars are screaming we've got your back. The drums
are pounding out a war cry. There's only five tracks, but that's plenty
to get your teeth into. It's got the blood of the Stooges and the
New York Dolls painted over its scraped knuckles. You would swear
that it had crawled from the gutter of the Bowery after washing up
there when it was chased out of the Motor City..."
