“ What you have here is the unlikely "marriage" between Big Mama Thornton and No Doubt. If that concept doesn't excite you, then this is not the band for you. But if it jump starts your broomstick, then go man go!”

— "Billy", Cdbaby.com

“They have a sort of upbeat,pop-punk sound combined with psychobilly imagery and a early rock 'n' roll feel. While this sort of genre mixing makes it kind of hard to define which "scene" owns this band, they really bring it”

— "Met Mavan, cdbaby.com

“Upright bass, smokey vocals, crunchy guitar. It's an addictive combo if you grew up on both punk rock and oldies radio.”

— "monster kid, cdbaby.com

“A band of feisty pin-up psychobilly sirens tearing up dance floors in their home state of Texas and beyond. ”

— Amy Townsend, Ultimate Goth Guide

“See what happens with the punk scenes busty answer to Jayne Mansfield found the right mix of female fury!”

— Bunny Levinson, Rockabilly Online

“Perhaps you haven’t heard of the music of the Danger Cakes. Well, they’re definitely worth checking out.”

— Steven Blythe, Austin Post

“The fast rising local girl group Danger*Cakes was this years opening act. Many of my friends didn’t feel they had quite earned the spot yet. But the ladies waltzed onto stage with the swagger of a decades old touring group. Quickly blasting the drowsy crowd with their soul infused punkabilly! Suddenly our small group of half awake hipsters were in more of a partying mood! By the time fellow Austinites, the Pickled Punks hit the stage, there was a crowd that was rived up and ready to wreck! Texas sun be damned, this was a party! Our home town bands set a standard for the other bands to follow!”

— Bunny Levinson, Rockabilly Online

“Danger*Cakes is an all-girl rockabilly group from Austin, Texas that takes the fashion and allure of the rockabilly scene to a whole new level of glamour. Describing themselves as a premier "Rock n' Roll Orchestra," the girls of Danger*Cakes are already starting the make waves across blogs and music publications committed to identifying the best of the best on the rockabilly scene today. Unlike many bands these days who strive for some obscure semblance of originality, Danger*Cakes avoids these pretensions by literally reviving the red hot days of rockabilly, with blaring horns, drums, a double bass and a sense of style that'll immediately transport audiences back to the heyday of the genre.”
