ATRINA  
makes     
 music that is equal parts  minimalist melodicism, counterpunctal cacophony, and decibel-pushing dissonance.  Angular, but accessible. Complex, yet catchy. Eclectic, and electrifying—makes ears ring, hearts pound, and toes tap.

plus, a few words about
  "searching for a better way..."

      “The band isn't afraid to use
force to get its points across, but
similarly knows that it can lull you
into a spot that will make knocking
you from your headphones
all the more satisfying.”

  
               - Jeff Breeze, Northeast Performer, Jun03

  “Powerful and confident, they
struck a balance between rock
history and hipness, a kind
of  zeigeist-capturing cool.”

  
         - Brian LaRue, New Haven Advocate, Jul08

       
        “Singer Kelly nails those wail/sigh
vocals that meld smoothly
with fuzzy guitars.”

               
    - Annie Tomlin, Punk Planet, May/Jun03



 
            {beautiful evidence} reviews


   “Atrina sounds like they mean it, with an earnestness matched by technical expertise and solid songwritingThis record is high-stakes. It bears the   superficial markers of earnestness — deep, heavy riffing, a brooding and moody      sensibility, haunted-sounding vocals and songs exclusively in minor keys — but
   it transcends superficiality. Singer Kelly L'Hereux sounds impassioned and      entirely straightforward, her  voice positioned low enough in the mix to     create a compelling push-and-pull between vocals and band. This dark  stuff is thoroughly rocking, spooky, tuneful and direct, a collection of    mid-tempo post-punk  tunes from the depths that delivers. New Haven         rocker boys, take note — L'Hereux's not joking around, and she's helping to    trash the local scene's in-joke-isms and to bring us in touch with something         more universal in the process.”

  
 - Brian LaRue, New Haven Advocate, Sept 24.2008

       “About five years ago this band just kind of went away which was a dang shame    'cause they were a great, moody-without-being-mopey, sorta arty group
          that worked well. This here is a "return" recording with a sorta new line-up. And it's better than the old stuff. For real. Five songs, pleasantly shadow-y (if    Siouxsie sang some pop tunes through the Melvins gear) and spot-on solid.      Chilling atmospheric beauty, just enough distortion, delicate vocals            offset the dirge-ous bits, all good. Holy crap! Seriously now. This is really      good. Standout Track: Just get the disc, okay? And don't worry about it.

           - Craig Gilbert, Play Arts & Entertainment Weekly, Sept 03.2008
