Go Kill Mice review. "The "Mice" are other garage rock bands. This album burns. This album grooves. This album kills .. recorded in 1999..a good couple of years before the White Stripes built their first hit with Lego Blocks on MTV"

 "…evil, almost too cool. dangerously deviant…. reeks of black magic and deals with the devil. frighteningly intense.
an imposing presence. Beautifully Tortured.  Mischevious. They really do mean it, man. There is no novelty here. They give everything they have. (and)…make most other bands look ridiculous"
Nadeem Ali
New Noise/London

"Rock's Saviours. Somewhere between acid rock and garage punk"
Alien Protocol

"Dante Adrian has one of the best rock-n-roll voices of all time with all the earnest ectstasy of a young Elvis Presley and warbling prophylactic frenzy of Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh. Violate a Sundae shows the band growing to be worthy of legendary status. A frantic wall of noise that would make Phil Spector proud."
Dave Clifford
Willamette Weekly

"Delivers exactly "What I Want". WINNER IN A BIG WAY!

"Orgiastic blasphemy. Good vibrations for bad people"
Jason Heller
Denver Westword

"A totally fierce live-set. Be sure to investigate ALL releases by this amazing band. Thee band to beat in the 21st century. A mind shattering take on the sleazy side of circumstance. The Starlite Desperation are heirs apparent to the hastily-vacated throne of the Gun Club."
Mike Lupica
WFMU


"It seems the band's members neglected to take adequate pre-show anti-seizure medication."
"The Donnas represent all that is good about music."
Adam Williams/Donnas Fan/Starlite Desperation Hater
Pop Matters

"amazing band, great releases, provocative live shows…hard and spastic .. moved and truly provoked the listener"
Derek Meier

"Plenty of bands write good songs, but precious few possess a powerful and immediately recognizable personality like the Starlite Desperation"
Dave Clifford
Skyscraper Magazine

"One of the best voices in Rock 'n' Roll since Glenn Danzig and, before him, Jim Morrison"
Mathew Baldwin
Monterey County Weekly

"Man, has it been a long time since I've heard anything remotely close to this! I want more, damnit!"

"Vanilla romance and horror movie sprinkles, dipped in singer Dante Adrian larger-than-death voice. Sweet."
Lorraine Carpenter

 "Tensley ambitious, moody, bone-rattling. Sounds like a bottle bursting against a bedroom door. Television on every night Richard Hell Forgot to Show up or Wayne Kramer and Sonic Smith fronting the Gun Club. That same eerie high-register twitter that made people worry about Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Nothing but focused energy-no wasted anything."
Chris Zeigler
OC Weekley

Violate A Sundae "An unstoppable rock-out. A loud brash rebuttal to the people who say that the 70's influenced artists are just a bunch of poseurs. Enough variety to keep you interested, even a bit shaken with it's intensity. Short and sweet, suitable for waking up the neighbors."
Larissa Parson
Maelstrom

"A kooky mix of '60's surf music and punk rock that unfolds like a campy '50's B horror-flick. Absurd, creepy lyrics sung in scaaary Simon Lebon-esque voice. Excellent"

"Part Funhouse, part Psychocandy, part Johnny Cash. All messed up."
Midheaven Mailorder
Writer unknown

"Abundant talent and more personality than you can shake a stick at. Great songs, provocative lyrics, and Dante's made-for-music voice set the band apart from dozens of other garage-influenced groups… a shining example of the perfect marriage of traditional rock n roll and sinister, post-modern intellectualism."
Sonny Kay
Founder of GSL

"Like little kids burning ants with a magnifying glass"
Jason Carmer
Violate A Sundae producer

 "Red hot blend of hilarious vocals delivered with panicked conviction, big guitar licks, and powerful rythms will fascinate, rouse (and even arouse you). This band is able to recast classic blues-rock riffs in ways that don't sound clichéd or overripe."
Asia Blue
Mp34u

 "rock calamity in motion. A bluesy/garage/punk rock history lesson somehow gone horribly awry.  Red hot blend of hilarious vocals delivered with panicked conviction, big guitar licks, and powerful rhythms that will fascinate and rouse you."
Jesse Ashlock
Epitonic

 "Hyper-Dramatic disquieting raw-nerve intensity. A spell-binding aural dynamism that threatens to rip apart, just as it makes the moves to rip it up."

"One band is currently proving to be rock 'n' roll's life support: The Starlite Desperation….unfathomable amounts of charisma, cleverness and élan..There's absolutely nothing to fuck with. Doubtless, Go Kill Mice will stand as one of the year's finest albums.

 "The best thing to move to Detroit since Alice Cooper. Superb guitar riffing. Rock..at it's hard-edged finest… the way it should sound, circa right here and right now. The showstopper no one wants to play after."
 Greg Baise
Detroit Weekley

"The most promising band in town actually hails from Monterey, CA. Sharp, smart songs. Keep an eye on these guys.."
Ben Edmonds

"…a cool-rockin' Venn diagram where punk, garage and old-school glam intersect."

"The Starlite Desperation do a simple but rare thing. They make you feel and not just listen. What makes this album so amazing is as much in it's attitude as it is in the actual sound."
