"reminiscent of Paul Westerberg's pop sensibilities, with that raunchy, but graceful sound."
Poughkeepsie Journal
"Giudice blends melodic guitar waves with vocals that run the gamut from lush to desperately emotive."

This disc has the just-barely-contained quality of the best Crazy Horse records.
author: Fred Gillen Jr.
I just picked up Todd Giudice's "Destination Venus." I've seen Todd live many times so I knew he was a gifted songwriter. The CD features 10 of his great songs, produced with a guitar-driven full band sound. This disc has the just-barely-contained quality of the best Crazy Horse records, with slightly twangy, crunchy guitars and straight-ahead grooves. It begs to be played loud and with the summer hopefully coming is perfect for blasting with the windows open in the car. The tension in the opening song "Waiting For The War" is reminiscent, to me, of Stones tunes like "Street Fighting Man" and "Gimmee Shelter." I hate to make comparisons, and here they are purely for reference. Todd is a unique songwriter with an ability to find a memorable and poignant phrase and wrap it up in a haunting melody. It is intense and emotional and it rocks! Todd's singing is refreshingly raw and human, and is a good match for his simple yet poetic lyrics. I will be listening to this one for many years to come.

Fabulous!

The words and music of this cd have definitely transported me to Venus. As soon as I get my breath back, I will be going there again. I am anxiously awaiting Todd's next cd to see which destination it will take me to!

Music for the Heart & Soul from a Remarkable Artist
author: Kevin Robinson/No Bull Productions
Todd Giudice's music will embrace you and never quite let you go. "Graceless" remains one of the most beautiful and moving songs I have ever heard. His guitar work is always perfectly appropriate, carrying the lovingly crafted lyrics straight from his heart to yours. This album will be one of those CDs that never strays far from your player. When you listen, you will understand why we tracked Todd down and begged him to help us in the studio with FAMILY PICNIC: Songs from a Non-Performing Songwriter!

I hear the muse...
author: Ian Charles (singer/songwriter)
"With the stroke of a brush a painting begins." Todd has created his first complete work. The influences are like passing cars. You can see the drivers but, not enough to recall their names. I prefer music that way. It keep the music flowing without drought. The instrumentation doesn't overpower the basic melody and signature chord changes that grace the music from the first tune to the last. I hear the muse and I sense that the rain will keep on pouring.
