The Word On The Street
Some quotes on my music...

Damn fine music. Quite frankly sensational. Manages to combine refinement and understatement with power and politics.
- Wired

 
She cuts the air with her laser sharp lyrics and story-lined songs, puncturing the heart
with poetic precision.
- Michele Carlile, Independent Reviewer
Her songwriting never ceases to amaze me:
consistently intelligent, thoughtful, quirky, weird and wonderful.
- Project: Pimento
Puts her heart into her music. A sound and style all her own - plenty of originality here! Her persona comes through. Quirky and sassy; similar to Frou Frou or Bjork.
- Taxi
Her poetic words, fine pop sensibilities and intense performances combine to make a veritable feast for the eyes and ears.
- Peoplesound
Sweet and friendly, but messy
and gut wrenching at the same time.
- Wired
Strawberry Switchblade's
unhinged little sister.
Just don't piss her off now.
- NME
Subtle edge and attitude;
unique vibe and style.
Very compelling and interesting.
- Great American Song Contest
Her lyrics are smart, innovative and quirky.
Max can get you inside and outside;
and she's not afraid to get her uniform dirty.
- Tom Firehat, Face It Dad Pictures
You won't have heard anything like this before. Superb sub-pop at its best.
Basically, this is f***ing excellent stuff.
- Musician's Network
Personal, direct and articulate lyrics and engaging vocal delivery. Incredibly poetic writing! A talented singer; a really good voice. Would appeal to listeners of Gillian Welch to Annie Lennox.
- Taxi
I really think you are onto something.
Very unique sound.
- Kate Hart, Seattle Women
Certainly intriguing; the subtle emotion,
visual imagery and thick harmonies
really pulled me in.
- Great American Song Contest
Strong imagery, poetic and descriptive. Expressive and haunting. Tells clear stories lyrically. Uses vivid imagery to create pictures in the listener’s head. A strong signature style shining through.
- Taxi
I was impressed...
She genuinely has something.
- Jonny Paul, Artiste Management
Her performance and delivery were
the best of the night.
- Rosie Wilby, Wilby

I really do love these tracks. Fantastic style. The attitude is great. Very talented.
A songwriter who can stand out from the pack. Wild and original.

- Taxi
