"Yeah, it's hard to draw blood from a stone, but it's even tougher to mine new blood from old rock music. Yet that's exactly what the Passionistas do. If you're a 21st-century modern lover, ready for post-Y2K "12XU" anthems, and you know you can't hide your love forever, your dream soundtrack is ready." -Johnny Ray Huston, San Francisco Bay Guardian
Download of the Week: "Going Gay" by the Passionistas, a recent Deli Magazine "Band of the Month." -Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday, May 27, 2007
"Jilted, jerky pop lacking tightness and polish sounds like the work of a high school garage band with great taste." East Bay Express
"nerdy boys who’d rather fiddle around with their tape recorder and thrifted instruments in their basement on a Friday night than hit the town and birddog for girls."Performer Magazine
"Everyone wants to make these big powerful songs about the state of our government, and The Passionistas turn the situation on its head - giving everyone the middle finger. They take on an absurd situation with their own brand of absurdity." Rewriteable Content
"These pranksters deliver surprisingly mature music behind the guise of slapstick funny lyrics." The Owl Magazine
"While so many bands seem to be content to find their indie niche and settle there, the Passionistas maintain a level of mystery that allows them to escape easy description, let alone categorization." Deli SF
