"Like many fellow Portland transplants, the duo is grounded in nomadic tendencies: It shifts and changes as it draws from a number of places, including New York, L.A. and Olympia. In fact, Meza’s so fresh to town (and to drumming) that she only owns a cymbal, causing her to play a uniquely thrown-together kit at every show. The result takes forms in blazingly prophetic soul, erratic punk and garagey drone—a multitude of genres straddled with grace and dynamism."
-Willamette Weekly
"Chris Sutton's nickname is Hornet Leg, but that's probably only because "that guy in all those fucking bands" doesn't have much ring to it. From Olympia, Sutton is part of Dub Narcotic Sound System, C.O.C.O., Spider and the Webs, Nudity, and now... Hornet Leg. He's been playing solo stuff as Hornet Leg for a few years, but now Hornet Leg is a full-fledged band, with multiple members. Ever the chameleon, with Hornet Leg Sutton is exploring stripped-down, minimalist, indie garage blues—if there is such a genre. If there wasn't, there is now."
