Reviews for Strike A Match:
Strike a Match is the first full-length release from Autodrone, it’s an astoundingly accomplished and confident piece of music from a band with a bright future. The record shows remarkably mature songwriting and very strong musicianship, and there’s a raw energy and very honest feel that permeates every song on the record. Strike a Match is so deep and diverse that in all likelihood there is something on this album for everyone to enjoy, and for those who love the louder excesses of shoegazing rock in the vein of My Bloody Valentine, this album is a must hear. - Absolutepunk.net
"All attempts to make this an unbiased review are gone; I am in love with this album! ... Strike A Match is required listening for fans of the post punk era. They have an unabashed love of the genre, but also have the talent to make it their own. The perfect playlist for a walk in a wet garden at night." (10 out of 10 stars!) - Rev. Doktor Alejandro Fruitbat MyMixTapes.org
"There's no doubting the bruised beauty and intensely epic thorough breeding that pulses throughout the whole of 'Strike a Match'. Over the course of the ensuing years Autodrone have honed their mercurial spirit to the point of an enviable fine art, all at once intricate and devastating, caressing and crushing, tender and turbulent 'Strike a Match' is in one short word colossal and in another ravaged." - Mark Barton, Losing Today (UK)
Shoegaze as a constant form still provides the thrills of its origin points, but admittedly too many bands avoid the sheer bite and anger of a lot of its earliest practitioners -- groups like early Lush, Bleach, the Charlottes, and of course My Bloody Valentine itself. New York's Autodrone, while not consciously drawing from many of those bands, finds its own strong voice on its full-length debut - 4 out of 5 stars - ALL MUSIC GUIDE
"A palette of great songs that swing from dark-tinged, MBV-meets-electro-rock all the way to big, inspiring numbers built on a huge bed of sound. There’s a touch of pop-melodicism sprinkled throughout, but only when it feels necessary: the hooks are there, but they never dominate the tracks." - Will Joines, SonicFrontiers.net

"One of the best albums I've heard this year...Go pick it up, it is that good. Oh and to any potential record labels looking for a band... these guys are believe or not currently unsigned!"-Joshua Pfeiffer, www.post-punk.com
Reviews for Panic EP"Panic, while giving the finger to conventional standards of popular music, manages to be just as infectious as the most contrived pop sensations" - AltSounds
"The EP is one of the best of the year" - AbsolutePunk
"Noise-pop cum dance punk is the recipe that Autodrone has found all the ingredients for. Loud and melodic female vocals grip you from start to finish with pulsing bass grooves and atmospheric synths leading the way. The New York City based quartet has the New Order-esque dance rhythms down while the gothic tinged lyrics recall the Cure. But there's plenty of punk vibes to get your heart pumpin'. " – smother.net

Sounds Like: Moody, very moody. Alternately pretty and darkly intense, Autodrone have made the daring step of embracing influences from the 90s while the rest of New York is mired in 1968, ’77 or ’80. An unapologetic nod to the shoegazer bands of yore, but with a modern rock band’s pop sensibility, AD is the audio equivalent of what you see on a restless night as you just begin to touch the edge of sleep. - The New York Press
