Review for Blame It On Rock & Roll
"A powerful & professional piece of work" - Kamloops Midweek

"Robin Brock's debut album, Blame it on Rock & Roll comes flying at you with wailing guitars. Raw & powerful, this album is made of simple but fiery rock & roll. Brock has a pure, unraspy voice which takes off the edge a bit and gives it some soul." - Impact Magazine

"Robin Brock comes through clearly showing her energy & exuberance in the music. . . She delivers a definite punch with "She's Outta Control, Rockin' on the Airwaves, & Burning Up." - Concordia College.

"Robin is an accomplished singer in a Pat Benatar or Ann Wilson vein."

"These songs (from Blame It On Rock and Roll) are straight ahead stuff with little pretension or condescension."

“Robin Brock unleashes an impressive collection of exuberant and driving vocals. The album has a tight energetic feel & manages to avoid the usual formulaic lyrics of most rock fare.” BIOR&R Review

“Robin Brock astounds people with a voice and an attitude that wraps itself around that big rock flag. She generates astonishment from those who hear & see her for the first time”.

“Although the album has a lot of energy, it certainly isn’t lacking the occasional ballad either. This is a definite must have for anyone out there craving something they can really get their teeth in. Robin Brock is surely on her way to success.” BIOR&R Review

“A full American style pop/rock album with tonnes of atmosphere. Robin’s powerful vocals stand out as something a bit special. With the current music climate moving towards rock, this is likely to score well.” BIOR&R Review

“I was quickly under no illusions, this lady can rock with the best of them. Brock has a powerful rock voice, somewhere between Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson & Shania Twain. The material of this Cd suits the panache & style of her singing. Her ability & potential should make plenty of new fans & followers.”

“Finally . . A new female rocker that can both sing & write some good songs. Robin has a great voice that reminds me a lot of Ann Wilson. This album is a must for every fan of female fronted AOR/Rock.” BIOR&R Review

“Whilst there are a plethora of female pop and R & B Artists currently in the limelight, there seems to be a lack of women who “rock.” Robin Brock certainly is an exception, and a good one at that. with the release of her latest album, we finally get to hear hard rock with female vocals (which has not been done in a while). And most importantly rocks.” BIOR&R Review

“The melodic rock of Robin Brock is well worth listening to."

"I Lied is a beautiful mid tempo New Country/AOR tune with haunting vocals & great vocal harmonies. This girl should release an album with only ballads on it. I swear she would receive instant World fame with it.” BIOR&R Review

“I love this album with a passion, the kind of passion that the lovely Canadian songstress has crafted into each of the 10 wonderful rocked up new country songs.” - Powerplay Magazine

BIOR&R Review

“You lost Your Heart is a gentle rock ballad that leaves listeners wanting a lot more. “She’s Outta Control” blasts your sensibilities with wailing guitars mated with Brock’s energetic, provocative voice. The result is completely sexy.”

“With the power & poise of Pat Benatar, the charm of Ann Wilson and Celine Dion & the lively delivery of Joan Jett, Robin is as complete a singer as you are likely to find anywhere. And with the marvelous songs to showcase her talents, I’m sure there’s nothing that she can’t achieve. Pure magic.”

"Canada has produced some of the finest female melodic hard rock singers. Add Robin Brock to this most impressive list."

"I was totally blown away, Robin Brock is rock ‘n’ roll through and through, This Cd became an instant favorite the moment I heard it and I still can’t get enough. Music, to me, is more impressive when it’s written by the people who actually perform it. And wow, does she ever perform. Hey, plain and simple, if you buy one album this year, make sure it’s “Blame it on Rock and Roll”. I hope and pray that this release is given the proper exposure, because there is no doubt in my mind that Robin Brock is gonna be a Star. No one hit wonder here. Robin Brock has created a tight, solid album and there’s not a weak song in sight. Just buy it, you won’t regret it...GUARANTEED!"

"The ballads "You Lost Your Heart" and "If I Can Forget" reveal the full potential of the songwriting team Robin Brock/John Capek, as they have more depth and drive than you usually find in this field. "Drowning" closes this CD in more than fine style- desperate but yet with a glimmer of hope. I love the tone of this!
