More Rave Reviews for Dead Sara Album

“Dead Sara’s self-titled album comes across as a diamond in the rough. The passion and emotion embedded in every note is quickly detected in Emily Armstrong’s vocal range. The musical outbursts expelled by the band come across as an unpredicted ticking time bomb, releasing chaotic moments of energy and destruction into an unstable environment….Dead Sara’s grunge-rock-like sound with a modern splash is exactly what radio stations everywhere have been waiting for. ”

“At one time or another, most of us have had the “desert island” conversation with our friends, where we make a list of the ten movies/books/music albums we would want if stranded on an island with sand and a coconut tree….Dead Sara’s ability to put out a pure, back-to-basics rock album that channels so much inner feeling and the superb work ethic required to write such powerful songs have endeared them to those who have been lucky enough to hear them. Their music is infectious and leaves you wanting more, but that is not what has endeared them to me. It is their ability to tap into all that is rock and extract out something new and profound and remind me of why I love music in the first place. That is why I am including them in my desert island library.”

“The time has come to leave all you’ve known to be safe and secure behind. It is time to let go of the simplicities of mainstream rock and accept the revolution that is Dead Sara. With as much ferocity of even the most seasoned bands, Dead Sara stands atop those before them and plants their flag, confidently claiming their place in rock. This tight group of four, hailing from L.A., explodes out of the gates with their ground shaking self-titled album. In today’s music, it is rare to deliver something truly unique. Dead Sara raises the bar and has drawn my attention, if not much more.”

“I consider myself lucky to have gotten my hands on Dead Sara’s debut album early enough so that I can say “I told you all so!!” The rest of you will have to wait until October 2011 to purchase the album and hear it in it’s entirety. Until then you can attempt to get by with the bands first EP “The Airport Sessions” and what has sneaked onto youtube. I promise you though, the debut album is a whole other entity….Coming in at 11 tracks with more balls and diversity than anything I have heard in a while, with musical shifts from sweet folk and sad blues to screeching metal howls, to rock and roll and back again – This music can’t be classified in any way -other than GOOD…. and it’s no joke, they are THAT good “-
The Dead Hub (Jul 14, 2011)“Two is always better than one, and with this dynamic duo nothing could be more true. These Los Angeles natives are a spectacle of roller coasting riffs and vocal passion. The contrast between Medley and Armstrong is what makes their music so great. Medley remains grounded, keeping the rhythm and sound majestic and strong throughout, while Armstrong’s ability to sing the Blues one second and skillfully unleash a guttural howl the next is something to behold. “
