Gosh, Miss Angie is cute. At twenty-one, she has star quality, there are two of them pasted to her cheeks. She still likes her stuffed animals so much, she lugged an armload to the recording studio. She also brought four members of Johnny Q. Public and David Zaffiro (formerly of Bloodgood), and somehow managed to transcend "cute" to achieve "smokin'." "Satisfied" and "Lift My Eyes" establish the tone of this modern rock album with big guitars, quick, heavy beats, and Miss Angie's warm, yet still girlish, voice. The eleven songs are all strong. The cover tune, "100 Million Eyeballs," ventures closest to the too-cute cliff, but never slides over. As a tribute to the Jesus Movement legacy her parents instilled, her premiere release ends with a cover of Second Chapter of Acts' "Which Way the Wind Blows." I'm sure her ties to Johnny Q. Public were helpful in getting signed with Myrrh, but Miss Angie can hold her own. No cute trick!

Turner sports a light, airy vocal delivery which meshes effectively with slightly distorted, modern rock guitars that define the band's sound. With Oran Thorton, Shawn Turner and Dan Fritz (Johnny Q. Public) sharing production credit with…Similar sounding releases
