"....unites punk recklessness and new-wave tunefulness with little regard for musical niceties. The rising Iowa band..s ..Starlight.. tumbles headlong with fist-pump hooks and towering vocals..." - Entertainment Weekly
"There truly seem to be no superfluous or gratuitous sounds on any song, everything melds cleanly and beautifully with calculated purpose .. an amazing debut. The Beat Strings deserve a collective pat on the back, from all those artists who have tried, but failed so miserably before." - 30Music.com
"What the songs lack in enunciation, they more than make up for in emotion, and that is what Beat Strings are essentially about - raw emotion, the kind that comes from bad relationships, sexual desire, and a little bit of hard living. The result is a powerful collection of music that will make you want to dance, drink, make love, and pound the walls in fury." - RWS Magazine
"Love, Lust, Wonder is a sort of whiskey bottle redemption. A nasty break up and pathetic reunion on full blast. Keep the volume up, boys"- nowontour.com
