“..a wild and truly innovative mix of hard and soft textures, dusted soul and nasty rock.. For a debut release, this is a gutsy hunk of music." 

“Move over Kid Rock, there's a new American Badass in town and her name is Neycha, a ballsy sistuh whose music is aggressive, and we love it! Imagine Resʼs evil stepsister consumed by Alanis Morissetteʼs angst (circa Jagged Little Pill) and youʼre awfully close to Neychaʼs 2001 CD, the dirty side up (Lucy Kool). It's a wild and truly innovative mix of hard and soft textures, dusted soul and nasty rock that's anchored by heavy guitars and hypnotic break beats."

Time Out New York, 1/2003

the dirty side up is a sonic collage of aggression, emotional vulnerability, and self-introspection. Mugshot magazine says, “it's the kind of album you take on a road trip or play at extremely loud volumes while getting ready to go out.”
