Sounds Like: "A punk rock Exile on Main Street with shades of The Stooges, riot grrrl, Pere Ubu, and even The Doors."Magnet Magazine
"If Spivey sounds spacey, she's not. Her songs range from aggressive, screaming punk to beautifully melodic rhythm and blues, the very definition of garage-rock. Like Sleater-Kinney and Bikini Kill -- Lucid Nation has opened for both -- her band's music is raw, poetic, sloppy and infectious, and Tacoma Ballet is simply a bare-bones, kick-ass rock and roll record."
