PRESS"Pounding bass lines and bone-crushing grooves make up the mountain of sound crafted from northwest industrial-metal icon Betty X." THE KEG REVIEWER MAGAZINE, MAY 18TH, 2006
"Dangerously sexy blend of poisonous and volatile apocalyptic-metal with sarcastic aggro female vocals." THE STRANGER
""Brutally beautiful industrial punk...."
The Stranger Band of the Week: Betty X ." THE STRANGER 2006
"Voted Seattle’s Sexxxiest Female Metal Vocalist and Metal Artist." UNDERGROUND MAGAZINE 2007
"BEST BAND IN SEATTLE EVER!" JIM ROSE OF THE JIM ROSE CIRCUS SIDESHOW 2007
"You guys are an AWESOME, Kick ass band." IVAN DE PRUME drummer of SCUM OF THE EARTH AND WHITE ZOMBIEIf you like your music loud, aggressive, and exquisitely well-played, head down to Studio Seven (110 S. Horton) tonight for an all-ages show featuring local goth/industrial/rockabilly by Betty X and Boston’s own Powerman 5000. Having seen both acts before, I can highly recommend tonight’s show as being one full of energy, excitement and entertaining. A word of caution, though: if you’d like to keep your hearing you might want to take some earplugs." Zee Gregra Seattle P.I
"Powerman 5000, Betty X, Sanction VIII, Sights Overseen ...blow out the amps at Studio Seven." T.J. Tranchell The Seattle Weekly Reverb
"Her sardonic truculance isn’t so new these days but her ability to pound a message into your face in bursts of machine gun-like percussion, crunching guitar, punctuated (yet surprisingly lyrical) bass and her best clipped (not so secret) yelling voice are worthy of attentions reaching far beyond live shows.
She’s created a type of industrial metal with a vocally punk’d edge. Quite possibly a serrated edge.
This kind of flavor is usually associated with a mosh pit or disturbing movie sound track but Betty hammers it out in a way that much of the time any refined desk jockey or couch potato can listen to and enjoy. Track after eye blackening track.
If you’re a fan of Evanescence and NIN and ever wondered what the two might sound like if you put them in a blender with a spritz of OTEP to offset the sugar and spice then you’ll flip when you hear Betty X." by Frank Gualtier 2007
