VenusZine slams Florida (via our album!)

>>>Morningbell hails from that sucking black abyss of music culture,
Florida, which is best known for offering local music aficionados an
eclectic, homegrown mix of idiotic hardcore/screamobands, mindless
club music, and aging-rocker double bills.<<<

You can read it yourself. It's in hard copy at Barnes and Noble and
Borders.

I haven't felt the true need to reply to any of our negative reviews until
this one.

here's my email to the editor:
Kristina:

We were recently reviewed in your magazine by Joel Cusumano. We have
no problem with the fact that some people (including Joel) do not like
our music. However, we take great offense at Mr. Cusumano's apparent
need to introduce our album with a scathing, inaccurate description of
our home state.

club music, and aging-rocker double bills.<<

Adding this to an album review is insulting, ignorant, and makes for
piss-poor writing.

Mr. Cusumano is ever present proof that a magazine assigns album
reviews to the bottom of the barrel.
