“Josephin is a powerhouse. She rocks hard , and she has a message. She has conviction. She is on a crusade against injustice. Backed by a great four piece band , she delivers fierce and catchy tunes that make you think. She backs up her words with actions, supporting charity with the profits from her music. She is also a supporter of The New England Revolution soccer team, and she wrote a great theme song for the team. Jo grew up in Israel, and immigrated to Boston, and we are glad to have her here. She fits right in.”

“New England takes a crack at establishing their own club anthem By Andrew Wiebe After Real Salt Lake got things started with the "Believe RSL" anthem that got considerable internet love, the New England Revolution have added their own offering to the genre. The team announced on Monday that “New England Revolution Anthem,” written and performed by Josephin Shlomit Madden, a local from Abington, Mass., has been selected as the New England Revolution’s official 2012 victory song. I dig the punk rock vibe, and Josephin did a great job putting together something authentic and catchy at the same time. She's got a big voice and presence that fit the anthem well. The only thing left is for the Revs to win, something that hasn't come easy through two games in 2012. Fortunately, they'll have another chance to pipe this bad boy through the Gillette Stadium sound system on Saturday when Portland come to town.”

“I'm amazed by this girl JO. The brutal vocals of the RIOTGRRL thing.. ROCK/PUNK/SOUL & most of all plain out great! Fans of Dropkick Murphys, Tommy & the Terrors should buy. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of more great albums to come & I can't wait! Show your support. DO IT NOW!”

“When i looked at the sleeve i thought this was a new band from Shirley Manson as she looks a lot like her in those 2 pictures. Sounds trebly old style punk & sort of sounds like a blend of X Ray Spex, Daisy Chainsaw and Blondie.”
Pete - Mass Movement Magazine, UK

“The girl named JO on the cover of the EP, on the other hand, kicks ass.. & badass. with her catchily shouted barstool street-brawl punk'n'roll, she earns it. She has sung backup for Dropkick Murphys, but she is Isreaeli rather than Irish. ”

“Lots of ladies this week.. 3 self released gals. But only 1 of the former wears her Rose Tattoo fanhood on her sleeves & could probably kick your arse while drinking you under the table. Israeli American street-brawl punk'n'roll. Under josephin's pic: Stay out of her way. ”
