"...fan-fucking-tastic..." artrocker magazine
"...ugly music made by beautiful chavs..." www.new-noise.net
"...London's rather fiesty,rather angular Striplight.They have that kind of Monkey Boy lead bass drive and an angular groove that'll sweep you up,do let it...singer Liz has that classic staccato bark,she has style,she'll drag you into their sharpness and their impressively smooth jerky Pere Ubu/Lene Lovich discordance...Recommended..." Organ Magazine
"...It's edgy, fresh and new. 'Hold It Down' would set any dancefloor in to a fit of jerking hands, knees and heads..." www.thisisfakediy.co.uk
"...their jagged blend of punk and indie will grab you, pull you in every direction and won’t leave until you’re well and truly harassed..." www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/
"Impressively tight,angular rock with hints of Be Your Own Pet and P.J.Harvey,we predict a bright future for Striplight!" www.subba-culture.com
"...There is something I like very much about this; it's the singer's voice and attitude..." John Bramwell (I Am Kloot) www.playlouder.com
"...remembers the past glorious years of London’s rock heritage..." www.music-dash.com
"...Striplight believe in putting on a show. Band clad in black. Frontwoman in white, blonde coils of Helga-hair gripped tight to the scalp. Android dancing with pinprick pupils. The voice may be a staccato bark, but this woman can sing, and can hold the last note like a Wagnerian decree. Guitar style is sharp-needling notes, harsh twangs and discordant chord frilling. The short decay thwacks of the drums add to impression of frantic stings, but the bass is a smooth and constant pump, zooming around the scales, pure groove. A combination of belts, cogs and pistons, a machine that's well-oiled in parts and juddering in others.
...Striplight grab your attention and hold it, a set that's both fashionably retro and disconnected from the scene zeitgeist. Electricity fluxes and wavers brightly. www.OppositionT.co.uk
"There's no escaping Striplight when they're at full throttle and, lets face it, there's never anything less with this lot. A fiery sonic assault...characterised by...angular guitars, a pounding rhythm section and of course Liz's unique stylings is not for the faint hearted. Undoubtedly masters of tight performance and owning a stage on your own terms... Striplight's uncompromising, no shit attitude gives their shows a real and serrated edge." Playmusic magazine
