According to The Portland Mercury, the new cd "sounds like a pair of black jeans and beer... Their music is metally and anthemic, laying down a solid, rough instrumental base for lyrics that play with both a girly band cheerleading style and baby talk. At other times, there's a steely, Wendy O. Williams-style, sinister robot bedroom voice going on. If you haven't seen these locals recently or at all, check it out for some solid girl action that's not too grrly." The Willamette Week has this to say about the band: "If you like your 'girl bands' pretty and fluffy, stay away from the Del Toros. There's nothing revolutionary about their songwriting or overall sound, but they can seriously rock out. Bassist Erica Thygesen makes even simple licks sound delicious; with more experience and far more subtlety, drummer-vocalist Mary Esquivel could be the next Janet Weiss." A local booker/ music promotor had this to say about the new cd, "The first ladies of rock have been tearing it up and now they're ready to release a little bit more on your ass. I got the prerelease of the CD and it is smoking." Backfire Magazine reported that "The Del Toros effortlessly capture the 'cute punk band' category..." The Portland Alliance noted That the Del Toros "original math-metal-punk tunes make you want to re-think the term "cock-rock..." The band bio: With a shotgun blast The Del Toros flew out of the starting gate in the spring of 2001 with a fresh sound, good looks, and great energy. This tightly wound three piece generates a unique infusion of metal, pop, punk, and arena rock, creating a sound that is both comfortingly familiar, and yet unlike anything else happening in this neck of the woods. Sheri Deitrich, guitar and vocals, brings a sense of experimentation, vast knowledge of music theory, a love of metal, and some of the most outrageous guitar solos seen in years. Erica Thygesen, bass, possesses a love of surf, oldies, and pop punk, and demonstrates a genius for developing truly infectious hooks. Machine Gun Mary Esquivel brutalizes her kit with some of the most aggressive precision drumming known to punks, and her wicked lyrics sting like a bee. Their chemistry is magical, and from their inception, the band has been wowing audiences around Portland and the West Coast with a superb stage show, amazing musicianship, catchy songs, and raw sex appeal.
