REVIEWS
"Dallas Frasca has been crowned
the Queen of Australian roots for
good reason......
Emma Heard - TIME OFF - Sept 2009
"Frasca's gigantic voice seems to be getting
more versatile and refined
- she has the makings of a superstar...."
Martin Jones - INPRESS Magazine
"If you like your rock molten, monolithic and propelled by passion and authenticity, it's time to tune into Dallas Frasca."
- Graham Blackley, Beat Magazine, Sept 2009.
"The modern day Janis Joplin"
- Triple J
"The debut album by Aussie roots/rock powerhouse Dallas Frasca, .... cuts a blue line through rock, roots, blues, soul and pop, while allowing Frasca to put a stamp on proceedings and add a sparkle to what goes down during her live shows."
- Newcastle Post, August 26, 2009
This is a voice that's getting
better with age. On this album she exercises an enthralling, determined vocal control and demonstrates real finesse......
- Bruce Hardy, Tom Magazine, Aug 2009
Dallas Frasca isn't taking any prisoners
with this first single off her forthcoming
debut album. It's as down and dirty a slab of roots as anything the boys could deliver. On the evidence of Burnt Toast, the album should be awesome.
- Drum Media - Sydney - NOV 2008
Dallas Frasca is one of Australia's greatest
and most obscure singers"...
