"I was immediately drawn in by the strength of the songs. Some bands can be great bands but they really only have 1 or 2 hooks that really dig in and get stuck in your head- every song she sang had that kind of infectious melody." - Justin Markert of Cellar Door
"…Her band's terrific new album, The Young and the Bright, sounds a bit like Tegan and Sara and features feisty tunes that have a Violent Femmes-like spirit to them." Jeff Niesel, Music Editor of Scene Magazine
"Mastering a totally wonderful album by These Knees today. This continues to be the sweetest gig ever." Chris Keffer of Magnetic North Studios
"Trivison’s fierce vocals are comparable to Sierra’s from VersaEmerge. They’re warm and light, youthful and exuberant. Her vocals accent the catchy pop melodies that fill These Knees’ debut. Trivison demonstrates a knack for creating hooks that stick; listen to “Pacifica” if you’re in need of convincing." - Alyssa Lee of Midwest Action
