PERFORMING SONGWRITER / EP REVIEW
"This seven-song set casts Frank and her bandmates in a mostly menacing light, be it the arch exhilaration of "Doubt" or the ominous strains of "Some Friend You Are" and "Six Degrees." Predictably, edge and attitude win out. Clearly, the lady is a vamp."

July/August 2008 print copy DIY reviews section


THE DISTRICT WEEKLY (Ziegler) --HOMETOWN LOVE, 'CHASE FRANK SUPERSTAR'
Chris Ziegler on Chase Frank, June 26, 2008

"Her new album—white cover, white heat"...."lean clipped loop-unit-blues with iron vigor like PJ Harvey and a little of the outsider wildness of guys like George Brigman or Michael Yonkers." "Manor likes more a pounded-down lattice of guitar...."


SXSW 2008 / AUSTIN CHRONICLE MENTION
AUSTIN CHRONICLE! SXSW 2008 MENTION
Melanie Haupt enjoys us, and says we "specialize in angry, confessional lo-fi rock". Guilty as charged, Melanie...


MTV.COM RECOMMENDS CHASE'S EP
Yep, guess me and T-pain rolled out on the same day. Also Patti Smith's release was 2/8/08. It's a weird world.

OC WEEKLY -- 'LOCALS ONLY'
"...mean lean rock that’s set to slow boil. “Bipolar Belle” waltzes darkly with the standard “My Favorite Things,” adding flinty guitar accents and forbidding vocals in the vein of ex-Geraldine Fibbers front woman Carla Bozulich."

REVIEWS FOR "WINTER IS MY SUMMER"
full length. 13 songs, 2006, Vesuvius Records, 59 min
second album
----------------------------------------------

LONG BEACH MAGAZINE ...."follows closely along the lines of great bands like Portishead and the fuzz-crunchiness of Sonic Youth. The thirteen songs on her album prove that you only need one to make it happen." Valdas Karalis, LONG BEACH MAGAZINE

Photobucket


OC WEEKLY 2005 ....a "one woman guitar storm".
Chris Ziegler, show preview, 2005


BIG WHEEL MAGAZINE
" 'Front Lines' and 'Twelve Hours to Go' are some great songs with some thinly veiled opinions on certain topics in the U. S. Watch out Chase, or Dick Cheney might come shoot you in the face."
Boyd Wunder, 2006


COLLECTED SOUNDS, SWEDEN
"My Captor" is a startling lo-fi exercise in sound that recalls Sonic Youth.....The white-hot intensity of "Tethered Heart" is accomplished with the slightest of instrumentation. But Frank's vocal is strong enough to carry it. " Anna Maria Stjärnell, COLLECTED SOUNDS
Stockholm, Sweden COLLECTED SOUNDS REVIEW

TIM'S BEFUDDLED UNIVERSE
"Kaki King turned me onto little girls with big guitars. I've started looking out for good women solo guitar players. If you like guitar without gimmicks, I expect you'll like Chase Frank's latest CD, ....Winter Is My Summer''. Chase Frank's music will catch many people by surprise, but, if they take the time to catch up with her, I believe they will be aptly rewarded for their effort." TIM'S BEFUDDLED UNIVERSE (.org), San Jose Ca

REVIEWS FOR BEE OF MY MIND
2003, Poverty Level Records
----------------------------------------------

Short, but oh so sweet. Chase Frank's debut is perfect on so many levels. Her voice is a flexible instrument that suits her music's free spirit well.
