"...a great example of togetherness in a band."
-WireTapMusic (San Francisco)
"Despite possessing the same panting percussion and stuttering chaos as Los Angeles’ finest post-hardcore brutes HEALTH, Religious Girls are hear to massage rather than bludgeon, choirboy charms in place of cantankerous chants. [...]Harmonies flood in over tape loops that judder gently and friendly with stuttering percussive tussles Foot Village and other Luddite bruisers swear by could not help but envy. Pure gospel."
-No Pain In Pop (UK)
"...As they began their set, my whole perception of noise and music was completely blown out of the water. Religious Girls took the rhythmic pounding of HEALTH and the tropical loveliness of High Places and made it their own, a completely new sound that was as beautiful as it was harsh and brutal... The manipulated vocals through the microphones and the call and response keyboard and drum melodies amazed me and captivated me in the best way. They were absolutely fucking terrific.
-KEXP Blog (Seattle)
"...a four-member ensemble with an enormous sound and an arsenal of instruments (there's a lot of multi-tasking). These East Bay boys pound out a joyous combo of tribal and live electronics with techno loops."
-Clamour (San Francisco) "Noise and cacophony is the foundation of their house, but what made me love it was the architecture... Tribal, syncopated, and commanding, the drums are what got me going and focused and ready to take on whatever the rest of the band had to throw at me."
-WireTapMusic Blog (SF) "If the sheer joy of being alive has a soundtrack, it’s the music of Religious Girls, who brought us into a beautiful new world where we all would have loved to stay but which came to an end when the music stopped."
-Backbeat Online (Denver)
"As midnight approached I feared a long set from the closing band. [...]these thoughts were dispelled as the band began to play, they were replaced by sheer awe and wonderment as the band proved their alliance to the drums. [...] Sparse and spacey vocal delays, balanced by the occasional fuzzy analog synth lead, acted as the clouds and sky, while the constant, articulate, and tribal beating of the drums laid the roots in the ground."
-Guidance Counselor's Tour Blog (Portland) "...they are easily one of the best bands I have ever seen.""Young, innocent, hot—Religious Girls are irresistible."
"Their delivery was also fantastic, and by the end of the set they had easily roped in the crowd with their energy and beats."
