DANA

“...twisted garage rock and wiggly post-punk, rooted in a sci-fi sort of escapism […] You can tell they’re having fun, and the feeling is infectious. They have a boisterous energy, the impression of a band bursting at the seams, waiting to explode in a live setting. Having caught a bit of one of their SXSW sets, we can confirm they absolutely rip live. It’s an experience not soon forgotten. DANA live to push the envelope of sonic manipulation, pulling apart weirdo hardcore and bombastic rock ‘n’ roll to create their own brand of accessible punk."
- Dan Goldin, Post Trash

"Think BUTTHOLE SURFERS at their most rockin', it's a noisey, skronking good time."
- Maximum Rock n' Roll

"...a grungy, punky, messy affair, a trashy and tumultuous fight between genres, and it often is punctuated by spastic guitars which dart between punk and new-wave modes, and volcanic performances [...] DANA is aiming at moving targets. The band spots the zeitgeist and engages in a kind of cat-and-mouse game, with the resulting journey of scratches and tumbles serving as a kind of sonic document in and of itself."
- Music Tap

"...that distinctive weirdo DNA common in Midwest goons, freaks, screwballs and artsiefartsies (think Boss Hog, Brainiac, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and you are in the ballpark)."
- Indie Pulse

DANA is Madeline Jackson (vocals, theremin), Chris Lute (vocals, guitar, auxiliary instrumentation, production/engineering), Dan Matos (bass, synth), and Brian Baker (drums).
