What The Press are Saying about Girl in a Coma’s “Trio B.C.”

“There’s no debate that frontwoman Nina Diaz, whose lyrics are often inspired by literary heroes Oscar Wilde and Sylvia Plath and delivered with aplomb, is the star of the group.  But the indispensable rhythm section of rock ‘n’ roll lifers Jenn Alva, 29, and Phanie Diaz gives the band much of its boisterous charm.  Girl in a Coma is the best bet to put San Antonio back on the charts as the trio of young tattooed Latinas deliver their hybrid of propulsive punk rhythms and edgy pop melodies with refreshing enthusiasm.”  AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN

“The “Coma” girls come across self-assured and in total possession of their sound throughout  Trio B.C. They’re asserting their Latin identity while staking their claim as an utterly American rock act.”  ALL MUSIC GUIDE

“Nina Diaz’s expressive tremble deserves bronzing.  The frontwoman for diverse Texan rock trio Girl in a Coma is one of indie’s – scratch that, the world’s – most distinctive, emotive singers.”  THE DAILY NEWS

“The trio has now proven themselves capable of evolving their sound and simply getting more passionate and powerful in their musical execution.”  ABOUT.COM

“Trio B.C. proves this band has done its homework as they’ve traveled the road.  Sophisticated rock guitar work and smooth, yet slightly fierce, vocals (think Siouxie Sioux) show these girls are here for the long haul.” YRB MAGAZINE

“Trio B.C. is already one of the best releases of the Summer and is sure to make the top album lists of 2009.  What I dig about the song “El monte” is that proves once and for all that Girl in a Coma is indeed the Latina reincarnation of The Smiths.”  AUSTIN VIDA MAGAZINE

“Trio B.C. is a richly textured document of alternative pop and ear-piercing punk, with slight hints of country, Latin music and shoegaze adding to the fun. Trio B.C. is nothing short of fierce.”  HOUSTON PRESS

“ With erratic vocal gymnastics, Nina shrieked, screamed and sang with a more than able voice.  This girl group turned out a show that should have left quite the musical imprint on the developing minds of the next generation and pave the way for Girl in a Coma to be the rock stars they are meant to be.”  DALLAS VOICE

“The Writing is tight, the song structure is straight-up rock, and lead singer/guitarist Nina Diaz will blow you away with her huge, energizing vocals.”  UNRATED MAGAZINE
