"My favorite part of Yuri's Night DC at NASA was seeing The Cassettes. They completely transformed the Goddard Space Flight Center into a rock club with great music, lights, videos and tons of energy. They gained a huge number of NASA fans that night. The people of NASA are big fans of The Cassettes." –Sarah DeWitt (NASA)
"The Cassettes were the mega-rockin’ main event of the SteamPunk Party at MarsCon 2009. What other punk rock band do you know that includes steel guitars, a squeezebox accordion, a tabla-drum, a Bicycle Horn, a mouth harp, and the most interesting instrument, a Theremin. These guys are an incredibly talented band out of the DC/Maryland area. And if I were an upcoming Con Chair I’d grab onto this band like the giant squid grappled with the Nautilus in the steampunk classic “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.”
Their show walks right out of a steampunk time machine complete with an awesome video component that accompanies their music to perfection, along with their own espresso bar—what a deal. If you want to see pictures, cut and paste, and go to: http://wiki2009.marscon.net – And trust me, this band’s music will introduce your Con to a whole new world!" –Jesse Braxton (Marscon)
"The Cassettes first appearance in Lancaster certainly won’t be their last! These lads captivated the crowd with their brilliant cohesion of supernatural, sacred sounds and revved-up dance hall country stomps." –Valerie Wagner (City Of Lancaster, PA)
"It's official: The Cassettes have cornered the market on rock n' roll swagger... One part folk, one part rock n' roll, one part cohesion. It just adds up."

"If you like: T-Rex, Hot Snakes, Fiery Furnaces, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Buddyhead, Frodus, your neighborhood homeless dude with the handwritten signs that are like 20,000
words long..." –The-N.com
"The Cassettes don't want to be pigeonholed or thrust into a specific genre. The group has thrown the rulebook out the window and drawn a new template, combining garage rock, Indian raga inspirations, and back-porch Americana, coming up with a fresh experience..." –Skyscraper Magazine
