"Unlike many in the industrial/synth pop revivalist movement, Ars Phoenix makes no attempt to sound like they are tied specifically to the early 1980s. Their use of drum machines and synths might be in line with those days, but their overall approach is far more contemporary. It balances the familiar and fresh expertly, and results for some extremely catchy songs, the type of record that draws me in over and over again." --Brainwashed.com review of Violent Rain Endeavors poised in banal stances crumble before your feet like hollow statues, but please don't lose your razor wit. www.arsphoenix.com
