Read the reviews!
"...After listening I was thoroughly impressed with the song selection and the sound quality...This CD could be a hoppy, boppy, bubblegum punk soundtrack for any Punk Rock Prom...most of the songs are about girls & sex done in a poppy way, but damn is he an entertaining songwriter. Honestly before hearing this CD I might have had 2nd thoughts about going to a Darlington show, but now I would be there in a second. If you’re an open minded pop punk fan check this CD out, you might be surprised how good it is. 4/5 stars. " - punkrockreview.org
"...Fans of the man...and anyone else into modern buzzsaw punk/pop...will love the rough and raw sounds... Definitely makes you want to catch him in concert." (Rating: 5)- babysue magazine

here's what the press had to say:
"...packs carefree flippancy into Ronettes-cheery melodies and undertones-fun guitars..." -Baltimore city paper
"...Darlington hearkens back to what authentic pop punk could and should sound like." - punknews
"...it rocks and you can sing along to every song from the first spin on..."-munchkinmusic
"Christy Darlington croons and caterwauls like a bratty, off-key Elvis Costello and, at times,sputters and spits like Rancid's Tim Armstrong. Along with vocal duties, Christy brandishes a mean six-stringed weapon of mass audio destruction that's heavy on buzzsaw riffs and fiery, soaring leads...." - under the volcano magazine
"...It takes a real talent to be able to write in this fashion, to get the balance completely perfect because I can tell you that there's nothing sissy about any of these tracks, yet it's not 'tough'crap- it's just complete openness and honesty. The lyrics are so well thought out and it's almost as if he is talking straight to you, the lyrics are loaded...This is what we keep talking about when we say raw rock n roll urgency. This is fantastic. "-NFTzine
"...I've read a lot about CHRISTY BRIGITTE DARLINGTON having a rep for excellent writing skills. What about his awesome f#$!ing voice? Unique....Christy may have the best POP voices I've heard and he plays some mean guitar as well ...."
-musicfilter magazine
"This album totally sums up the way I feel about everything from skateboarding to right wing politics, all wrapped around some fine Elvis Costello-quality songwriting,hooks and melodies, and good old punk rock, A-la when Social Distortion was young and angry about the present and not just looking back at the past." - Billy Hopeless (singer of the black halos)/ The Nerve magazine
"... Christy Brigitte Darlington (yes, that's a guy) leads you on a 100 mph ride through 12 gripping, f*ck-everything style ditties. The first thing you should know about this particular outing, is that the whole thing was recorded and mixed in 24 hrs! That's absolutely mind-boggling! And if that doesn't impress you, According to Christy, they ran through 'em one time, then hit record. For some types of music, this would be absolutely impossible, or at best, a sonic disaster. But for Darlington,it worked out just fine. The songs, have an underbelly of Pop, which makes them stick in your head. On the surface however, is a hurricane of snarling,frantic, destroy-society angst that brings to mind bands like; Rancid, and even the Sex Pistols! The recording process has obviously contributed to the overall feeling of urgency that the disc displays, and I guarantee, it'll make you want
to run out with your skateboard and start breaking shit. As Christy screams "F*ck 'em" and talks about bringing down religion and government, you get the feeling he damn well means it. I think this is often the sort of sound that non-Punk fans have in their heads when they hear the words Punk-Rock, and that's what will also make it so appealing to you." - Urotsukidoji's reviews

here's what the press said:
"...another fun release of pop punk from the pen and guitar of Christy Brigitte Darlington. Pure pop punk; full of hooks and fun lead guitar work, occasionally goofy lyrics, and more than a few songs about girls...a fair amount of snot, plenty of hooks, and a lot of fun... still the songs are top notch and there is a nice contender for a good Christmas song,which the world could always use one more of... Does it get any better than that?" - shredding paper magazine
"... this disc is good... I’m actually relieved to hear a punchy pop-punk attack fronted by Christy Darlington... I’m really growing to appreciate the style & sense of humor he brings to the table. Christy doesn’t sound like some sniveling little wuss in need of a serious beating...He sounds like a cool, unpretentious guy who’d be fun to hang out with. That’s a big plus in my book...The guy really CAN write a good song!... if you go nuts for light-hearted tunes,the songs here will be totally up your alley. “Ocelots” rules (Is that guitar solo SUPPOSED to sound like The Cure? Either way, it’s a terrific tune), and “I Don’t/Detached” is a yummy, poppy treat. And I LOVE “Lucky Girl”, an irresistible pop gem that rocks hard. Had I heard this tune when I was 24, I would have sworn it was the best song in the world. The songs are mostly catchy, and I’m impressed by the clean, crispy production & melodic lead guitar lines. This is a fun, engaging collection of songs... I guarantee that you’ll like this CD. " -NowWave magazine

This is what the press had to say:
"Bubblegummy to the max, Darlington's Girltroversy is an appropriately named CD. He pays tribute to ultra girlies like "Jodie Foster" and "Judy Jetson" (extra fun tune). The music is catchy...and has the right
attitude... honestly just seems to want to have fun. I particularly like the lyrics to many of these tunes. Neat." -Babysue magazine
"Boy, talk about bubble-gum pop guitars and hip-wimp vocals!... This disk literally drips pop marshmallow fluff! It's so happy-cutesy I want to scream for joy!... "Espresso" is the slowest song on the album, just thought I'd mention that for added irony. 'Girltroversy' will cause controversy..." - INK19
"... can be best described as "Dork Punk."... Oddly enough, the only tune that doesn't zoom along at a million caffeinated miles per hour is "Espresso," where Darlington croons about stuff he wants: "A large iced mocha, a new Barbie doll and to play guitar like Pat Smear." This record is just rad. I especially like "House Pet," (I guarantee it will have you singing "I'm a House Pet!") and "Baltimore," inviting you to twist and clap along to a song about sexual asphyxiation. If you can't dance to this record then you must be missing your legs!" - INK 19
"could be a lost album by Cheap Trick, heavy doses of bubblegum poured over catchy tributes to girls from the tender Jodie Foster to the epic track "Butt-in-ski"....Buddy Holly, whose influence is evident in "Sugar Fix" (an old staple of Darlington concerts)..."- Scaruffi zine
"Good golly this is a bit of a time warp sound. Darlington plays that smart-ass, revved up power pop punk... Darlington is damn good at the crafty craft, sticking out tongues and spraying raspberries all around on "Judy Jetson"... tis actually very clever, but best of all, it bops to a yummy pogo beat you'll find hard to resist. This could be big I tell ya, big." -Thrust online
"...Mostly there's songs about longing and loving and eating and crashing about with no particular destination in mind.The songs are breathless, crunchy trips through power pop land, with easy hooks...
Summer, summer, summer all year long. Stuff that will inspire folks to take a chainsaw to the roof of the Cavalier and spend a blissful topless summer. The sort of harmless anarchy that makes this world so much fun. " - A&A magazine

here's what the press had to say:
" ... fun and the riffs shine all night long. Yes, almost all of the songs concern weird segments of American culture (Marcia Brady, NASA, Christmas, etc.). That's the whole appeal. Clever? Definitely. Classy? No. Vulgar? You bet. Darlington has no sense of shame, and that's probably why I like this stuff so much. Silly and quite possibly inane, sure, but big-assed smiles all the way. And should we ask for more? Perhaps, but I'm not in the mood to do so. Nope. I'm just gonna turn it up a bit more and hit repeat. Smiles are always worth the effort. " - A&A magazine
"Mmmmmmm sugary. That’s how I love my punk rock. Sugar coated. Darlington gives it in spades. Sniff You Out, Brain Dead and Holly are all genius, Now, if anyone reading this can tell me where I can get my
hands on a copy of Girltroversy, I’ll be the happiest girly alive. Until then, I’ll wear this one out. If I was a diabetic, I’d need my insulin now." - Sequential Tart magazine
