"Kate Starr's the most expressive female rock singer I've heard in a long while. She ranks up there with Tori Amos, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and even the perfect pop voice of Karen Carpenter." PRODUCER LANCE BRENNER
"High energy riffs and pretty grrrl vocals encompass Kate Starr’s debut EP, Questing Through Chaos. The album artwork is incredibly compelling, printed in just black, white and pink, with quirky girl-next-door Kate sitting pretty in striped tights and Mary Jane shoes. However, the aggression of her vocals and lyrics suggest anything but little girl..." PORTFOILO WEEKLY
"Kate Starr's sound is tighter and more trained than some bands that have been together for years longer than this trio. Rapid fire music with spunky vocals, and lyrics that range from humorous to angst trodden. When you stir all this talent into one pot, you get some of the better punk music of the day with some sounds reminiscent of early Nirvana." FEEDTHEBAND.ORG
Intricate melodies sublimely laid with cutting lyrics suggest Kate Starr is a real star in the making. She can ache like a little girl and then break you just like a woman. The indie grrrl movement could not do better than to have Kate's talents leading the next crop of Chrissy Hyndes or Liz Phairs into the rock world." READYFIREAIM.COM
"Though she wears her foremothers on her sleeve,... sleek, chic femme fatale Kate Starr leaves plenty of room for a guitar strap and churns out slugy, guttural rock riffs that make grunge fans wish they never threw out their flannel... ." C-VILLE WEEKLY
