    She conveys toughness, tenderness and humor with off-handed conviction.
  2. Make no mistake, Indestructible Machine is the sound of promise, the sound of hope and ultimately the sound of something truly special unfolding.

    Lydia Loveless' Indestructible Machine possesses a classicist's grip of country, a rock & roll sense of swagger, and the keen eye of a songwriter twice her age.

    That pairing of punk force and country grit is nothing new, but Lydia Loveless makes it her own through the strength of a blazing voice, a fully formed persona, and bluntly crafty songwriting.

    Indestructible Machine is as good as anything I've heard this year and marks the true, and truly defiant, arrival of what could be a serious talent.
