When one mentions the band Beta Male in the Circle City, it’s likely that they know exactly who you are talking about without an explanation. The band’s uniqueness in sound and style make them virtually unforgettable. When Beta Male released “Husband’s Girlfriend” unto the scene, it was like an explosion of slinky rhythms and unforgettable hooks. And when they hit the stage, it’s without a doubt that the audience will be grinding right along if not gaping at the group’s provocative presence. --Zaptownmag.com

Beta Male — about whom you'll hear more in future issues — is, to put it rather gently, made up of absolute lunatics, which is why they're probably my favorite band of the moment. They put on a dynamic and bombastic stage show — the kind where you never know if they might actually blow up the stage. --Paul Pogue, NUVO Newsweekly

Hazel and his cohorts have added a healthy dose of New Wave sensibilities and . . . well, sex to their already-strong songwriting and performing skills. --Indianapolismusic.net

At Birdy’s, the bedroom-themed New Wave of Beta Male demanded attention. Lingerie-clad band members Allison Hazel and Jessica Hack were placed in a wood crate at the end of Beta Male’s performance, implying they’re merely props. The flippant gesture isn’t a reflection of reality. The women are major players, proven by Hazel’s athletic and engaging neon hula-hoop routine. Vocalist-drummer David Hazel -- Allison’s husband -- is the real mystery. His sharply crafted songs seem to haunt more than seduce. One paraphrased passage: I’m not perfect, but no one else is like me, and that’s worth something. --David Lindquist, Metromix

Euro-trashy in a good way; they were angular and day-glo, yet organic enough to stick to the ribs. --NUVO Newsweekly
