...Thank God that there's still rock bands who allow girls to sing. I'm pissed off that there's not more of this. Anyways, I like The Golden Chariots of Mars. I like their name, too. It's mysterious. It's strange. It makes me wonder what I'm getting into when I pop this CD into my stereo...BiggestLetdown.com
SELF TITLED ALBUM REVIEWS:
...Led by female lead singer Catie Larson, The Golden Chariots of Mars are sort of a female and less distorted and heavy version of The Pixies writing angular guitar riffs that juxtapose their enigmatic song structures. Above the crunchy guitars and truncated drums is a noodled bliss of melody that co-exists nicely... Smother.net
...This is an incredible first album from a band with a boatload of talent and potential. The album art is great and the songs are pure. It's probably best to check this band out now before a major label signs the band and ruins it all...Skratch Magazine
...This Minnesota quartet is fronted by singer Catie Larson. Her powerful voice is perfectly blended with the rock and roll riffs produced by the rest of the band...Impact Press
