"This four-member band is best described by the words 'experimental', 'poetry', and 'rock'. Definitely unafraid to go beyond traditional instruments and song structures..."

"The group's music is noisy and quirky at the same time, then the guitar lines and riffs build from steady and melodic to harsh and uncomfortable."

"Chicago trio »radiant devices« pride themselves on creating a mixture of hauntingly beautiful sounds that contains traces of jazz, industrial rock atmosphere and plenty of punk rock attitude delivered over spoken word poetry. Let’s not forget that »radiant devices« also prides themselves in using anything they can get their hands on to create its rhythm section – you know, satellite dishes and propane tanks, the usual."

"With one listen it is obvious that this group is not at all tied to any one genre. They revel in experimenting with non-traditional sounds and instruments to create a compelling sound that defies categorization."

"»radiant devices« is an experimental rock band comin’ out of right here in Chicago that is something a little different than the norm here on Gowhere. There are traces of hip hop influence throughout Infectious Substance, but the unique tempos and overall sound combined with the female vocals definitely have more of an uptempo rock feel. The project’s intro track “A Need To (deepen)” and the live version of “PacMan” are the two songs that I most vibe with. So lend your ears to one of the hotter underground rock bands in Chicago as >>radiant devices<< possesses a new sound that you're most definitely not used to, but could grow to enjoy."

"...nothing short of refreshing and daringly creative... whatever the classification, the sound comes off as a gumbo rich with a dash of spoken word, jazz, ambient beats, and hard rock." AND "Infectious Substance dares to color outside the boundaries of Folk and pure indie rock to create art that is intriguing and, most important of all, moving."

"[»radiant devices«] takes to the stage and, wow! They use found objects, including a satellite dish, a chain, a gas tank, a big piece of sheet metal and a thick spring as musical instruments to compliment their off the wall, punk-rock poetry performance art. When I think of Mojdeh performing her poetry into a bullhorn I think of a female Jello Biafra."
