“Ford is one of the most wickedly talented women in the music world. She is an excellent voice and she tears up on a bass guitar. Patrick Pfeiffer is her bass instructor, “has given me so much encouragement. He’s brilliant, like Jaco brilliant… and he was Adam Clayton’s (from U2) teacher.” It’s not often you see a female artist in such raw form. She’s not a diva, but she’d have every right to be. She’s not a pop star, but she could do it if she so chose to do. She’s just Lani Ford and she’s STARK.”

— Christy Mannering, Scrink.com

“Stark are a three piece band that play high energy, straight-forward, hard rock music with a bit of punk edge to them. Their newly released third album is titled Race To The Floor and it features 31-minutes worth of music that is completely and utterly dripping with attitude and swagger. The high adrenalin opener, "On The Edge" kicks things off in a huge, energetic way. "Get It" is next and is one the best the CD has to offer. The closing number, "Puttin' Out Your Fire" ends things on a high note and leaves the listener wanting more. RTTF is chock full of powerful riffs, cool solos and the underrated vocals of Lani Ford. Just great and passionate performances all the way around from this power trio.RTTF is a gritty, riff-heavy rock record that never gives the listener a chance to come up for air until the last note is played. A very good effort from this NYC based band and a CD that comes highly recommended.”

— Tony Cannella, Femme Metal Webzine

“STARK can pull off crazy without seeming insanely out of touch with their smashing pulses of music...This band is on fire, practically radiating with edgy gorgeous tunes…if one could radiate such things. ”

— Christy Mannering, Scrink Website

“STARK – Race To The Floor – takes the high road to hard rockin’ heaven. Stark’s gears are fully engaged on this fist pumpin’ trip. Joe Hogan and Eric Robel’s dynamite riffs & rhythm create a solid sound for Lani Ford to take on the world with new zest. Get it! ”

— Starr Tucker, New York Waste

“Stark's 2nd studio release Put It To Your Head evokes Courtney Love at her finest as well as the finely tuned angst of Green Day. The sound morphs from CBGB era Punk to straightforward rock without losing a single identity, which is quite an accomplishment.”

— Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World Blog

“On "The Curse" one can tell that the trio comes from a punk background, which isn't always dominating though. The thirteen songs are raw, short, spartan and get to the point immediately. At times, the trio recalls Legal Weapon, the early Patty Smith or X.”

— Robert Pally, Swiss Records

“STARK's new release 'Put It To Your Head' hits with a bang—sometimes hard, sometimes gentle, always rockin'. Streetwise tunes that will have you smiling, raunchy guitars and a kick ass bottom line. The perfect soundtrack to your insane life.”

— Starr Tucker, New York Waste

“Noo Yoik has always produced the best bands, and Stark are no exception to that rule. Fronted by the very talented Lani Ford, the subject matter of the songs is complex and deals with life issues, love, drug addictions, dreams and just about every emotion available to your average person.”

— Chris Rockson, Sound-check Magazine
