And a review in the Futures section of the CMJ new music report. Outburn wrote "unusual and unexpected.. remarkable". Day also fronted the band Ladybug. Day’s first band “The Plague” recorded the album Naraka which received regular college radio airplay (#1 at KMSA, WKKL) and intense press and is considered a classic by many. As lead singer for The Plague, Margot Day was part of the genesis of the NYC lower eastside scene, and a strong force in goth and the underground – rubbing elbows with Rob Zombie, Sonic Youth, the Swans, Bad Brains, Of a Mesh….. Mick Mercer wrote about Day, "Impressively Disorientating, Spookily Effective...Saucy!”
