PUNK GLOBE (US):
Left For Dead - "Destitute are described as "Foxcore" from Portland, Oregon ... This trio of girls are really the offspring of The Portland's own Frances Farmer Gals. Who were some of the original Riot Grrls from Portland in the early 90's...... The Frances Farmer Gals featured Mistress Dawn and the late Jerri Anne Pierce... I wonder if Destitute have played a show with Portland staple Roger Nusic yet? This CD features 6 interesting songs that tell tales of love, drugs, betrayal, social issues and the immense need for gender equality... Violet Riot the lead singer has a voice alot like Deanna's from the 80's San Francisco punk band Fright Wig... Check them out" --Ginger Coyote
GUTTER GLITTER (UK):
"In a similar vein to earlier Riot grrrl bands like Heavens to betsy, Huggy bear & Bikini kill, Destitute are for a change an actual riot grrrl band (none of this sounding exactly like The donnas stuff!).
New demos "Anti" & "Scarification" are rough demos at the moment but you still get the feel of the songs directions. "Anti" is the stronger of the two tracks imagine a crossover between Bikini kill & the early drumming of Jack off jill & your probably close."
KINDERDOLLIES (US):
"Reining from Portland, Oregon Destitute is a riot grrrl/bitchcore masterpiece. With Violet [bass/vocals], Ali [vocals/guitar] and Daniel [drums]. This trio seems to have a bit of something for everyone. From the rough tell no lies, Anti, to the more mellow Junkies For Jesus,
this band never fails to please. They've been on covers and inside of indie zines over the world
[as far as argentina!] and their success is no surprise. A secret this good couldn't stay hidden forever."
