Selected Press about the Benevento/Russo Duo:

One of the Five bust outs from this year’s SXSW musicfest. David Fricke, Rolling Stone, April 21, 2005

“One of the year’s most exciting break-out discs…” 4 to Watch For, Paste Magazine, June/July 2005

“A stripped-down punk rock version of a keyboard trio.” Richard Gehr, The Village Voice, April 18, 2005

“Like all good groups, the only real category that Benevento/Russo Duo fit neatly into is their own.” David Lynch, Austin Chronicle, March 18, 2005

“[F]un on a body-moving level and in the “how-the-hell-are-they-doing-that?” sense. CMJ New Music Report, April 4, 2005“

**** - cascading layers of effected Wurli, loops and percussion … spotlight the duo’s songwriting strengths and modern pop ear.” Dan Frio, Remix, June 2005

“The intensity of purpose imposed on their instruments is a gale force of youthful bravado.” Jay Sweet, PasteMagazine.com (web exclusive), June 20, 2005

“[T]he Brooklyn-based drums ‘n’ keys outfit … might be the Optimus Prime of genre-crushing hybrid bands.” Jonathan Zwickel, Miami New Times, May 19, 2005
