Sounds Like:

Lawrence Journal-World
(Lawrence, KS)
"Lollipop Factory is a two-person spectacle of a band from Columbus, Ohio. Guitarist David Tweed and drummer Bekah Manning shred like Queens of the Stone Age and harmonize like Queen, creating some of the most outrageous music you've ever heard from such an economical lineup."
-- Best Bets

Erie Times-News
(Erie, PA)
"If Queen married Queens of the Stone Age and they honeymooned with a circus, they might sound like Lollipop Factory -- an audacious duo that plays near-pompous, high-powered, harmony-laced rock with a winking sense of humor and madcap glee."
-- Dave Richards

Smile Politely
(Champaign, IL)
"They are my new favorite band...In top hat and tights, two people from Ohio perpetrate a bizarre oratorio of structured, elaborate hard candy on unsuspecting beer drinkers...Lollipop Factory is a spectacle."
-- Rob McColley

The Buddha Den
(Dayton, OH)
"Lollipop Factory...was full of fire. Strutting and slashing the stage, the glammed-out duo sounded like QOTSA had gone on a blistering bender of nothing but Queen and early Bowie. Not only was the sound incredible, but Lollipop Factory also understand the value of stage presence. The pair posed and pouted and paraded across the CST stage as if they had been born there."
-- Kyle Melton

105.7 The Point
(St. Louis, MO)
"Last night I also ran over to Off Broadway and checked out a KILLER band called Lollipop Factory from Columbus, OH. Just one guy and one girl in the band and they killed it last night. When they come back in town I will let you know about it and I encourage you to check it out. The music is killer and Bekah Manning the drummer owns that kit!"
-- DJ Todd Morgan

St. Joe News
(St Joseph, MO)
"Channeling influences like Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Jack White, Lollipop Factory combines heavy guitar riffs and drums with Freddie Mercury-esque vocals."
-- Lacey Storer

Arkansas Times
(Little Rock, AR)
"Columbus duo Lollipop Factory layers cheeky pop harmonies over aggressive rock." -- Lindsey Millar

Afraid of the Bear
(Chapel Hill/Raleigh/Durham, NC)
"Lollipop Factory, a fantastically talented and wholly original two piece...launching brutally into music as inspired by Tim Burton as anything else, all Pee-Wee's Big Adventure goes to hell, all Beetlejuiced out... Bekah played drums like no one I've ever seen. Sporting gigantic heels and a zombie ballerina outfit, she played a little trapkit standing up and never lost a beat. One of her cymbals rattled like a hi-hat but she only had a single pedal (her bass kick), resulting in a very original and engaging percussive approach. David, for his part, played through a deceptively simple pedalboard... a wah and two Boss OC-3s. Also, he played through what appeared to be at least sixty amps. The rollicking textures hooked me and the vocals knocked me for a loop, Bekah and David's harmonies spot-on and bliss-inducing..."
-- Corbie Hill, Where the Buffalo Roamed

Lansing State Journal
(Lansing, MI)
"Lollipop Factory plays boisterous rock that's part Black Sabbath, part Jellyfish."
-- Christian Czerwinski

Northwest Arkansas Times
(Fayetteville, AR)
"Bekah Manning and David Tweed don’t make confectionery treats. Instead, they make tasty metal music...The two-piece group has often received comparisons to duos such as The White Stripes and The Kills but have a darker sound that pulls from metal bands such as Black Sabbath."
-- Tuned In
