"Twitchy, Scandinavian-sounding electro-pop imbued with urgent, even desperate, vocals." -SPIN Magazine
"Brite Lite Brite, made up of singer/guitarist Andrea Stankevitch and guitarist/electronics master Luke Johnson, is one of the most talented acts I have had the pleasure of representing. Brite Lite Brite brings a fresh feeling to the over-saturated market of electronic music. Johnson programs intricate beats, providing pulsating rhythms that serve as the backbone of the band’s song structure. Over these beats, droning guitar melodies are layered to give a spacious atmosphere in which Andrea’s vocals dance, tumble, whisper, and scream. If the beats are the backbone of the music, these haunting vocals are surely the heart."

"Brite Lite Brite's "I Just Want U2 Myself" feels like a female fronted Daft Punk. Kind of like Lady Gaga as well. I love the music in the song and it gives off that Daft Punk vibe. Lyrics are all about someone who is longing for another, and the visual lyrics convey the emotion very well." -TAXI A&R
