Reviews

"The American Tragedy's exquisite CD is complimented by an explosive live show and finished off with genuine professionalism usually found at the theatre & arena level. Driving guitars that hook the hard rockers balanced by beautifully melodic songwriting that keeps the girls dancing in the front rows." -Casey Phillips, Infectious Publicity New Orleans, LA

"THE AMERICAN TRAGEDY is a breath of fresh air in the wake of the hardcore/thrash sound that seems so prevalent in the music scene. Aggressive and powerful, yet very accessible. Well crafted songs, an amazing sense of dynamics, great musicianship, and a stellar vocal performance - these songs stand up to anything I've had come across my desk in a long time. THE AMERICAN TRAGEDY could well be the band that puts Shreveport on the rock map." - Paul Cannell, Program Director, KOOJ Rock 93.7 –Baton Rouge, LA

"PURE ENERGY! ...CHOREOGRAPHED CHAOS!............STAND BACK WHILE THESE GUYS BLOW UP!!!!"-B-1 Boomer, Program Director KPGG Radio Texarkana, TX
