All in tune
author: Gavin Jones
Hi, I was just surfing through the internet, typed in "Folk Rock" and your music site came up. Thought I'd leave a comment: you all sing in tune, have a great sound, look great, and have everything set up well. Very impressive! I'm considering buying your album too. I am a professional violinist myself (www.elainesamuels.co.uk) in London UK.
Cheers and good luck,
Gavin

Hypnotizing
author: Kathryn H.
Love Me Like The Roses is an incredible album I'm very lucky to've crossed paths with. I fortunately got to witness them performing last Friday night at a local coffee house, and they blew my mind! The songs have a power that is capable of sweeping you off your feet and dropping you off at somewhere very unexpected. Danielle's voice is sharp and hypnotizing, while Cregan's is floating somwhere behind, haunting like a ghost. At the show, there were times when I couldn't tell who was singing! I recommend this CD to anyone and everyone who likes wonderful music.

An unshakable album.
author: Indie-Music.com
Although this dynamic duo gets plenty of Indigo Girls references, Divine Maggees certainly exhibits enough pluck and tenacity to rock their own boots. Welding childish imagery to incontestably advanced instrumentation and seasoned songwriting, these ladies evidently put aside all little white gloves to roll up their sleeves and produce an unshakable album. Leaden with multiplying sonic tiers and deliciously supple vocal harmonies, the pair's new release "Love Me Like the Roses" weaves effortlessly from the fast lane to the slow for some excellently plugged-in folk. -- Genevieve Will, Indie-Music.com

takes the Indigo Girls sound and gives it a swift kick in the ass

You'll like it if: You enjoy music that takes the Indigo Girls sound and gives it a swift kick in the ass.
Defining song: "Silver Bullets" - Full of haunting harmonies, this song should be a prime-time lurker on respectable radio stations.
I've been a sucker for a fiddle lately. Andrew Bird first introduced me to the coupling of rock 'n' roll and bow, and now the diva duo Divine MAGgees (pronounced "Maggies") have prompted an inner lust that has become unshakable. Danielle Tibedo (vocals, guitars) and Cregan Montague (vocals, fiddles) dabble in folk sensibilities, but have enough edge to leave an ember in any doubter's eye. Punk leanings meld perfectly into flourishing harmonies, giving the duo a confident air missing in most bands that flirt with various styles. The immaculate studio tinkering of Chris Rosser gives Love Me Like the Roses a gloss without sacrificing the live sound the duo intended for their third release. For people who like this style of music, they'll have a tough time finding anything better.
