“One thing becomes very clear upon listening to Dead Sara\u2019s self-titled debut full length album: this band will not be flying under the radar for long. Fronted by lead singer\/rhythm guitarist Emily Armstrong and lead guitarist Siouxsie Medley, the band has a distinct swagger and incendiary sound…Armstrong\u2019s vocal range and quality are astonishing… One minute, she\u2019s handling a soaring ballad with ease, and the next, she\u2019s screaming with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. Partner-in-crime Medley may not be the band\u2019s frontwoman per se, but her guitar takes center stage alongside Armstrong\u2019s riveting voice. She consistently brings the ruckus, laying down riff-after-memorable riff that form the basis for Dead Sara\u2019s unmistakably heavy and haunting sound. …A rarity in today\u2019s hard rock scene, Dead Sara exhibits a simultaneously polished yet raw and primal sound….Dead Sara is nothing short of a must listen for any hard rock fan.”

” Dead Sara brings to today\u2019s rock what Heart and Joan Jett brought to yesterday\u2019s rock. The female fronted duo of Emily Armstrong and Siouxsie Medley unleashes a gritty mix of rock, pop and soul. Their self-titled debut album, which drops October 11th, combines classic rock with a modern sound. Armstrong\u2019s raspy vocals are a mix of Linda Perry and Janis Joplin, while the band behind her incorporates melodic riffs and seductive power chords. The rock anthem \u201cI Said You Were Lucky\u201d and the radio friendly \u201cWeatherman\u201d will catapult Dead Sara to the top of the music charts. If there is a lesson to be learned from what Heart and Joan Jett were able to accomplish, look for Dead Sara to do the same in today\u2019s musical climate. ”

” Dead Sara\u2019s one-two, estrogen packed punch of frontwoman Emily Armstrong and lead guitarist Siouxsie Medley is a force to be reckoned with, showcasing their wares time and time again on their self titled release…Dead Sara as a whole is a sight to behold, a record well deserved of a listen. Give it the chance; it will surprise you, plain and simple. ”

“Armstrong\u2019s vocals flawlessly blend an artful mixture of Melissa Etheridge and Joan Jett with, when tactically necessary, a potent dose of Janis Joplin thrown in for attention-commanding effect. Join those vocals with Siouxsie Medley\u2019s solid guitar work, and you have the female juggernaut that makes up the heart and soul of Dead Sara.”

“Dead Sara IS Emily Armstrong (vocals\/guitar), Siouxsie Medley (guitar\/vocals), Chris Null (bass), Sean Friday (drums). Dead Sara IS not a pop band. Dead Sara IS all we want from a band and more. Dead Sara IS not \u201cChick Rock\u201d They are a hard hitting, in-your-face, meat and potatoes rock and roll outfit from Southern California. Period! In a time of conformity and playing along with the mold makers who often times control what is entering the ears of the listening public, it is very refreshing to discover a band like this. They have shunned the advice of music executives who thought they needed a more \u201cpoppy\u201d sound and stayed true to what they want to play and thank God! Here\u2019s the message that Dead Sara proudly displays \u201d This is us, deal with it\u201d! ”
