"There are only a few women that have rocked our world throughout the ages... Janis Joplin, Etta James, Heart, and The Pretenders... but guess what? There's a new chick that rocks my socks off, and her name is Basia Lyjak - and she kicked my ass! She's got the whole package. I think she will be a force in rock n' roll, and once you hear her, you won't forget her... I haven't!" - Mark Hudson (Livin' on the Edge, Aerosmith)

"Her current EP, Writings on the Wall, bears witness to an artist mature beyond her years. The vocal prowess Lyjak displays on that EP and the strength of the original material she's penned point to a long run for her." - Doug Gallant, Canadian Musician Magazine

"Basia was like the Energizer Bunny in the studio. We spent a day on vocals, doubling and harmonies, and she maintained the same enthusiasm and professionalism for the tenth take that she did for the first, always performing with incredible tone. It's great when you're having fun recording with someone, doing take after take just to see what you come up with, rather than out of necessity for better quality." - Brian Moncarz (Producer, engineer, Rattlebox Studios)

"The Basia expedition has a lot of heart, and you can tell through her music, especially on the track "Don't Talk." Her vocals take charge like a smooth rolling thunder that strikes like a blessing." - Uncharted Sounds.com

"Basia Lyjak is just another example of the great female rock talent we have in Canada. If you're into powerhouse vocals and catchy, edgy tunes, then keep reading. With several hit-worthy anthems to her name, Basia is well on her way to taking her music global." - Lia Karidas, MuzikMovementNewz.com

"Basia Lyjak is forcefully knockin' on fame's door, and tell you what -- it's about to open on up! Her electric tune, "Stuttering," is today's featured ringtone, and with good reason - it majorly rocks! Basia's a natural, and when you hear her you'll understand exactly what we mean! Fans of No Doubt, Queens of the Stone Age, Veruca Salt and other gritty acts will totally dig Basia Lyjak's powerful vocals and catchy, guitar-driven compositions." - MyxerTones.com

"Basia Lyjak has broken the mold, folks. This incredibly talented female rock practitioner from Toronto has emerged with a laughingly brilliant and innovatively excellent EP that rips at the very foundations of once sleepy North American rock and wakes the whole world up with the kind of force that could repair the melting ice sheets at either ends of the north or south poles!" - Elley Wilson, IOM Magazine

"Come on Canada, listen to Basia Lyjak! You don't know what you're missing!" - Jon Long, Long & McQuade Musical Instruments

"Her sensual Slavic looks and powerful yet melodious singing are punctuated with an undeniable charisma. She gives vocal performances that are so dynamic and intense they evoke Janis Joplin and Maggie Bell. But she has the added advantage of superior vocal range and resonance." - Jason Daniel Baker, Toronto Music Scene

"She is an incredibly enthusiastic performer who clearly loves what she does, and knows that first and foremost the goal is to rock 'n roll the audience as much as is humanly possible. And that she did." - Bob Battams, It's Not The Band I Hate, It's Their Fans

"I first encountered Basia Lyjak on MySpace and was immediately struck by her music. Her natural way with melody is the perfect fusion of pure vocal ability and grit, and her song arrangements are delivered to maximize her gifts." - Rick Tyrrell, Musicblood!

"I can get an idea and start playing a chord structure, and she has the ability to lay down vocals over top right away - it just comes out naturally." - Ron Bechard, Edwin & the Pressure

"She's got Janis Joplin's purse, Veruca Salt-like vocals and a full-steam ahead attitude that harks back to the rock 'n' roll heydays. Lyrics scribbled on cigarette packs, an answering machine full of recorded melodies and a team of accomplished musicians supporting her are just a few of the tell-tale signs of Lyjak's passion and determination." - Ann-Marie Colacino, Metro News

"Wow! This song makes you get into a '74 Monte Carlo and forces you to drive to Vegas at gun-point. Lead vocals are distinct, I won't even insult you by comparing them to anyone else. Lead guitar rocks, but you already knew that. The hook, the hook, the hook. I know I'll be humming the hook later, mission accomplished!" - Review of "Don't Talk"

"A rock/pop gem! Great intro - the hook and beat immediately made me bop. This song hits hard - the chorus rocks! Great backing vox. And the lead vox are sung with strength. This song is a rock/pop gem!" - Review of "Stuttering"

"What a brilliant song. I love everything about this track, from the mood you evoke to the nailing of every instrument in a professional and confident manner. The lead vocals are stunning. Again, the drums, which are OH SO important, are played fantastically and the guy has stunning rhythmn. Great chorus with a great hook, grabs you and throttles you and doesn't let itself out of your head. Brilliant!" - Review of "Plastic"

"'Plastic' has, without a doubt, placed Basia Lyjak on the highest pedestal for me... the girl has little competition in the independent world and absolutely none in the major market place! What a treat!" - Elley Wilson, R-Cat Communications

"Basia Lyjak is doing to the world what she's been doing to the rest of us by bringing back everything in classic and alternative rock we thought was lost for good. In songs like 'Bye Bye' 'Lies' and 'Plastic' we get the kind of innovation and excellence that makes for historical live performance at historical live events. It's actually quite unsettling for the music industry, as Basia Lyjak has arrived at a time when we all thought stage and studio 'magic,' 'presence,' and 'charisma' had long since fallen off the pages! Rewriting the A&R chapters is easy but I really do feel sorry for the label execs that ran out of ink!" - Colin Lynch, Jimmy Stilettos magazine
