    2011 - Block Party 

EarCandy.com "Seasoned NYC rock troupe Impostor Syndrome return with a five-song presentation furthering the hazy amalgamation of vintage rock chops, sinewy rhythms, and Kristen Persinos’ alluring vocal style that this troupe has shared with the Big Apple music scene for quite some time now. Taking as much influence from the desert rock stomp of Queens of the Stone Age as they do the sophisticated poignancy of Pretenders (“Don’t Hesitate”), Impostor Syndrome generously doles out memorable sugary melodies with a restrained hard rock snarl bubbling up from underneath (“Courtesy Call”), carving out a spot all to themselves with a decisively NYC feel amongst female fronted bands that boast both bark and bite."

Musikreviews.com "...almost dark sound that is made up of smooth vocals, good drums and guitars."

Culture Bomb "Impostor Syndrome’s Block Party makes for the perfect classic rock album, and a great addition for any classic enthusiast or even, those metal heads wanting to head back to the old school."

RebelRiffs " Aided by some excellent work from bassist Ken Nakano, drummer Damian Barker and 'co-conspirator, co-producer' Josh Weisberg, Kristen and Impostor Syndrome have both the songs, the style AND the production nous to be serious competition."

2010 Vernon Rock festival "...they have the virtues of great vocals, and rhythmic energy."

    2009 - ROSE COLORED SABOTAGE 

Musikreviews.com "...they do bring something new to the table, and they do it using the same old influences people have been getting inspiration from for decades. That's not easy."

3:16 Productions "Resilient NYC rockers Impostor Syndrome continue the daunting mission of churning out edgy tunes brimming with grace on ROSE COLORED SABOTAGE."

     2006 - FRESH AIR 

Voted One of the Top 25 Favorites on Indie-music.com 2007. " I've reviewed some really well done indie CDs this past year, but this is the one that stands out for me. This four-song EP rocked hard and showed what is really meant by the word PUNK: in your face, hard guitars, slammin' bass and drums AND good lyrics."

Time Out NY - May 07 "Simple riffs wrapped around time-tested melodies fuel this experienced LES trio. Singer Kristen Persinos’s vocals are not the standard sort of anybody-can-do-it nonsense."
Indie-Music.com "Impostor Syndrome has made me believe that there are still bands out there that can rock with more than three chords and deliver a fresh view on what sounds punk and edgy. The karma is real – I want more."

Mish Mash Music Magazine "I think I'll turn this one up a little louder."

Collected Sounds "Kristen Persinos has a really great rock voice and this band has a pretty full sound, especially when you realize there are only three people playing."
316 Productions "Impostor Syndrome's latest disc offers their unique how to guide on the tips necessary to not only survive in the NYC music scene, but thrive creatively and build a distinct sound along the way."
Score Music Magazine "This East Coast trio grinds out edgy pop that sparkles."
