“glamourKings are able to create one of the most memorable albums of the early part of 2011...I believe that their unique take on their music will bring listeners in by the boatful. ”

— James McQuiston, NeuFutur Magazine

“This group has got my attention because they have created a monster that is worthy of sincere recognition. ”

— Jimmy Rae, Skope Magazine

“In the prolific CD Front Row Seat To The End Of The World, glamourKings prove they can rock and create dance worthy songs, at the same time, encouraging the listener to think outside the box. ”

— Melissa Kucirek, Suite 101

“These guys attack everything from organized religion and celebrity craze to technology and crappy marriages. ”

— Carlito, Music Emissions

“The band definitely has a signature sound marked by synths, electric guitars with heavy distortion, and pounding drums (along with drum programming). Their catchy vocals sit right in the pocket of the mix. So whether it be the hard-hitting, high-powered, adrenaline-charged "pissed off dance rock" music, or the sobering messages designed to make you wake from your apathetic slumber, glamourKings will kick your ass one way or the other. And you'll be better for it, when they do. ”

— Carlito, Music Emissions

“New York based, glamourKings are a modern mix of NIN and Depeche Mode. Their unique blend of industrial rock and electronic euro-pop, dance together with ease in their recent album release, For Full Stimulation. ”

— AwakenMusic.blogspot.com

“For Full Stimulation is throaty, energetic power pop that quickly cuts to the chase. Vocalist Michael Urge of this two-person band has a standout way of enunciating to engender a wringing effect...Glamour Kings knows how to produce a disc. ”

— Indie-Music.com

“The GlamourKings have it all. There’s the soulful, Alt/Goth-Rock vocals; the highly programmed and hip electronic arrangements; melodies and harmonies that are memorable and a punk-pop sensibility that just won’t quit. ”

— Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World

“Think of Gary Numan singing “Cars” all jacked up on steroids and you have the short spot on description of the Glamour Kings.”

— Keith “MuzikMan” Hannaleck, muzikreviews.com

“New York's glamourKings is a pissed off dance rock duo bringing some hot new sounds to the table. These guys remind me of a blend between NIN's heavy hitting electronics and George Michael's sex driven pop. They give you a little bit of everything you look for in a band.”

— ZIne Ninja
