"Basic Bitches are anything but basic. This two piece garage rock riot grrl band have all of the swagger of The White Stripes but mixed with the emotion and bad ass girl vibes of Bikini Kill."

"...this is punk rock that's fun the way you think punk rock should be. If you can't get behind "Make Art," I'm not sure what you like about music at all."
-----
"It Doesn’t Matter If It’s Cool isn’t an album to listen to when in need of calmness and dreaminess. Instead, it’s made for jumping around and letting out your inner angst with playfulness."
-----
"...some of the sweetest and spookiest harmonies you’ve heard all year. "
-----
"Basic Bitches’ Relatable Content definitely lives up to its name, providing songs to shout along to and dance with in anger and in love. The band will not be hemmed in by the constraints of one genre as they make music about issues and events that they care about, not afraid to break the seriousness with humour and fun. Basic Bitches are definitely a band to watch out for."

"For garage rock aficionados, there's a lot here to enjoy from the get-go, but taking Krystal's knack for sliding between snare and cymbals (especially during '…Lights') and the shameless 60s flirtations throughout 'Cat At The Party' as the duo's finest musical moments, it shows they're a cut above just recycling old garage rock/riot grrrl/punk noises. Combining those musical skills with their ability to apply some very personal lyrical concerns, there's little doubt that this is an absolutely brilliant release."

"Accompanied by a spooky video, ‘How Come None Of You Ever Want To Hang Anymore?’ races with raucous riffs and thrashing beats as Scott’s raw, gritty vocals rage. With shades of the likes of The Distillers, it’s an immense blast of sound that hits your ears with a seething urgency. And, at just 54 seconds long, it’s a perfect, ferocious slice of energy-fuelled punk that leaves you desperate for more."

"...from the first millisecond, Basic Bitches’ “Come On Brenda, It’s the 90s For Chrissakes” bites, and bites hard. It’s the kind of song one would hear in a soundtrack for a documentary about the punk scene in the 70s, yet it’s fresh and captivating."

"Scott’s vocals are sultry and harsh – a mishmash of Brody Dalle and Blondie."
