"Hank & Cupcakes have consistently been making waves in the Brooklyn/NYC area and their live shows are off the hook. Everyone gets that feeling that they are one second from blowing up and when you catch their act you will understand why" Top 10 bands to watch in 2010 - MusicVagabond, NYC 1.19.10
"Brooklyn two-piece Hank & Cupcakes have been building considerable buzz based upon their stage presence and high energy live show. Their set, in which they played pretty much every track off their 7-song EP, was nonstop energy with barely a minute to catch your breath" BRM - NYC, 1.19.10
"Right off the bat this band introduced something sexy, something raw and taboo..Two songs hit you in the face and before you’ve had time to put into perspective how awesome what’s happening really is, you’ve had an orgasm..." Dirty Fucking Hipster - NYC, 12.16.09
"Mind-stirring and avant-garde, with a gritty rock vocal and a continuous deliverance of catchy, perfectly executed bass walks. Hank and Cupcakes' overall presence is unparalleled - it is a must see live show" City Newspaper - Rochester , NY 11.8.09
"Butt shaking and heartbreaking at the same time, Hank & Cupcakes' distinctively beat-driven electro-pop bursts with fresh bass hook lines, sexy grooved and remarkably multifaceted vocals. Their immediate and straight forward sound offers an amazing mix of emotive power and free thinker attitudes exploding into stirring electro fantasies..."
The Deli Magazine - Fall 2009
"...EP 'Pleasure Town', a truly fearless record that plucks up handfuls of good-time soul and darkened '80s pop, stringing them all together with Cupcakes' ribbonlike vocals and Hank's masterful manning of bass-gone-electro, creating so much sound you wonder just how they pull it off.." Indichik - NYC, 10.7.09
"...that girl can SING like the love child of Patti Smith and Cyndi Lauper. I dare you to listen to "Beat" and not marvel at the power of Cupcakes' vocals. The result? A sound that is wild and crisp. Poppy but bold. A guilty pleasure but with enough artistic merit to not illicit shame…"
Knocks From The Underground - NYC, 9.15.09
"..Every time they've played everyone in the room is either dancing or staring in amazement at what's going on..it's a band that you really need to see live to get the full grasp of.."
The Sentinel - PA, 9.10.09
"Hank and Cupcakes' brand of dance music is both well-executed and catchy. Standing at the drums, Cupcakes kept the beat and remained alarmingly pitch perfect as Hank brought the funk with some incredibly skillful bass work..."
Jezebel Music - NYC, 9.7.09
"Brooklyn duo Hank & Cupcakes pumps out tight, funky indie pop with impressively sturdy hooks"
Time Out New York - NYC, 9.4.09
"There's star power here and more than just a glimmer of it...Hank, on guitar, stood sexy and stoic as he channeled some of funk's best reverberating loops. Cupcakes, on drums, also stood (that's right), optimizing both her vocal prowess and her ebullient stage presence"
Jezebel Music - NYC, 8.18.09
"The second annual Astoria Music & Arts festival in Astoria Park last Saturday was a huge hit... Ins&Outs interviewed the organizers of the event, as well as performers like Brooklyn-based experimental duo Hank & Cupcakes.."
Ins & Outs Magazine - NYC, 7.30.09
"The distinctive edgy sound and overall attitude of this minimalist but successful duo is reminiscent of New York City's energy and restlessness combined with bits of soulfulness and youthful spirit"
The Deli Magazine - NYC, 7.6.09
"Armed only with a drum kit, a bass guitar and a complete disregard for their own limitations, the two smack and slap their way through herky-jerky dance-pop songs that bristle with sass and sexuality"
Fly Magazine - PA, 7.1.09
"We have fallen head over heels for Pop/Electro band Hank and Cupcakes' Mixing pop, rock and electro they stir up the genre's to create a new hybrid of pure, intelligent music that get's you ready for a night out"
Turn Up The Sound - NYC, 4.22.09
