"You can't but help but feel there's a certain parallel here between Page and Plant who took the blues and made it something `new' in the late sixties/early seventies. Purists will probably be aghast, but with Peach, and now Venom & Faith, Larkin Poe could be set to pull off a similar conjuring trick in bringing the blues to the masses. Yes, there's a freight train comin' down the line, and on the evidence here, it could be unstoppable. Hold onto your hats".

"This isn't your basic Stevie Ray Vaughan-styled blistering blues rock. It's far more primal, malicious, and unsettling. The siblings cover themselves in the Delta mud, clawing through the mosquito-infested woods with sounds that get under your skin and stay there ... ... the Lovell sisters have opened the door to a dark, bluesy, portentous worldview, something sinister and threatening even in its lightest moments. It's like little else out there, so hang on tight and join them".

"The balance has shifted towards blues (of a sort) with their latest release Venom & Faith. The opening track on the duo's new album, Sometimes, sounds like a field holler filtered through a backwoods gospel church. Modern production flourishes bring the song into the 21st century, but at its heart - in style and intent - the Lovell sisters are specifically aiming at the vibe of the previous century's blues traditions. As the album unfolds, the group reveals a more nuanced take on the blues ... Rebecca Lovell's lead vocals occasionally come off slightly mannered, but there's no denying her skill at running up and down the scale. And she does it in a way that serves the songs, that isn't showy for its own sake ... The CD often feels like an Americana-flavored musical travelogue".
