Press

• Irina Marinescu - Rock FM:
  "Besides the styles, influences and brutality with which the musicians play the instrument, a special element, from my point of view, is the female voice. I feel like I found a missing piece of the puzzle in the local aggressive style scene. Laura Ana channels, through her voice, a form of shocking sensitivity, a kind of downright violent passion, that grabs you immediately."
  

• Cristian Matei “Mumu” - Pro TV:
  "What I noticed from the very beginning was the pleasant contrast between Laura's melodious voice, clean and sometimes with operatic accents and the heavy alternative metal riffs combined with nu-metal."
  

• Bogdan Serban - Radio Guerilla:
  "Pogo, please!"
  

• Global Metal Apocalypse - UK:
  "If Dracula had ever listened to metal, it would definitely have to be an extreme kind of metal, something like Underwaves."

• Insane Blog: "UNDERWAVES continue to push forward with a sound that balances melody, intensity, and atmosphere. This is alternative metalcore delivered with passion and purpose—honest, immersive, and impossible to ignore".

• Cristi I. Popescu: "Turn up the volume! Underwaves has a lot to say, and not just in the underground."
