“Take some killer classic guitar runs (like the ones you enjoy from Jack White) and some rockin’ chick vocals (similar to those of Hayley Williams of Paramore), and you’ll get something like The Modern Elite. This rock band is on the brink of something big!” -OurStage.com
“”But wait boys, just before you shun away and think that this young 20-year-old empowered front woman is just trying to put you to shame with her dagger-like lyrics, focus on the fierce quad behind her supplying the rock. The Modern Elite has compiled a fine group of instrumentalists to separate themselves from the typical Paramore-esque wanna-bees. The musical arrangements are unique, new, and energetic. The band, in its entirety incorporates many of their own personal influences in their techniques spanning from The Foo-Fighters to Bruce Springsteen. They successfully mash together unlike sounds to create a fresh style all their own.” -Crescendo Magazine
“It’s not easy to pull off blending heavy throwback vibes from, say, the ’90s, with a modern indie pop feel, and vocals that deliver with punk rock passion, but the Modern Elite achieve just that energy. After listening to these tunes several times, I found myself each time noticing a new genre twist somewhere in every tune—and they make it work!” -The Noise Boston
“It seems in the age of Paramore being one of the largest pop rock acts in the world, we’ve been welcomed into a world flooded with bands who have a girl vocalist for the sake of matching the trend…However, in every situation, there are exceptions to the rule. One of these just happens to be the Boston-based The Modern Elite. Blending strong female vocals with great guitar work and over structure, The Modern Elite have quickly seperated themselves from the pack of ‘imitation’ girl fronted bands.”
-Under the Gun Review
“From personal experience, when you call yourself “elite,” its basically telling everyone else that you’re the best thing going right now. Well, after listening to The Modern Elite, this Boston-based band can certainly claim that they are the one of the best upcoming rocks bands out right now. With a definite swagger about them and a quality rock sound (they have been described as sounding like Gwen Stefani fronting the Foo Fighters), The Modern Elite seem to have all the tools necessary to be one
the top bands coming out.”- Magazine Man-gazine
