"Sometimes in this crazy thing called pop, you can tell something wonderful is going on even if you're not sure what it is. A good example is this little nugget right here." - NME review of Very Vampyr
"teenagersintokyo is another Australian band that should be destined for international love. Face it. Australia never stops." - BIGSTEREO
"There are many things to like about teenagersintokyo. They're 22 years old, visually magnetic, share an obvious quirky humour that comes from being long-time friends, and they write damn-good songs to boot" - NYLON
"End It Tonight: This grrl band from Australia is blazing hot! This song just has the right feel..." - JUNIOR SANCHEZ in BPM
"Like a lighter, less Christian-iconography-obsessed Justice, they’re preparing to take over the world one beat at a time." - RCRD LBL
