OX Magazin wrote about it :

Die Zeiten in denen Blues und Punk einander nicht abkonnten sind lange her.
Ab und an taucht immer mal wieder eine Combo auf, die beide Genres ganz nett verknüpt und seltsamerweise muss man dafür gar nicht in die USA fahren
Die Möchtegern-New Yorker kommen aus Darmstadt und klar. sofort denkt man bei so einer Gitarre-Bass-Duo-Kombination sofort an die WHITE STRIPES oder eben auch an die CRAMPS.Der Stiefel, den die beiden runterspielen ist zumindest ähnlich dreckig, monoton und reduziert wie das, was Lux Interior und Poison Ivy so trieben, und erinnert manchmal in seinem heulenden Wahnsinn auch an Gestalten wie Haunted George oder wirkt wie eine zotellige Version von LINK WRAY.
Schwitziger R'n'R im besten dreckigen Sinne, das ist so eine Klischeeformulierung, die mir durch den Kopf schiesst - aber wenn es doch stimmt.

Loud and Proud macht auf alle Fälle Laune und ist natürlich auch soundmässig so ungeschliffen, als hätte man es live aufgenommen

Album Review from Flight 13 . Album was nominated under the Top 20 for Spring Catalogue :

Mick Collins ist ja gerade noch mit seinen Dirtbombs beschäftigt und so kann man gespannt sein ob und wann sich wieder was in Sachen Gories bei ihm tut. Wer absolut nicht warten kann braucht einen dicken Physikertitel und eine Zeitmaschine. Für alle Dummies, die das nicht haben kommt hier eine Güte Klasse A-Alternative angeschossen. Sue und Lucky aka New York Wannabees sind wahrscheinlich Darmstadts bestes Duo aller Zeiten was die Mucke angeht und prügeln uns hier besten LoFi-Trash-Garage-Blues-Punk um die Ohren. Beeindruckend dabei ist nicht nur der Sound der dermaßen nach Detroit klingt, sondern auch die Tatsache, dass Sue erst mit 37 trommeln gelernt hat! Ein Lichtblick für alle Mitt-30er, die schon immer mal ne Band wollten sich aber zu alt dafür fühlen... * P. Trash

NEW YORK WANNABES- Loud And Proud LP. 2 piece Garage band from Germany that brings to mind THE CRAMPS, 68 COMEBACK, OBLIVIANS and THE GORIES. This is just good old 60’s blues Garage Punk trash with songs about good and evil and played with blood, sweat and tears! There’s a very genuiness to their song writing and it comes off very natural and pure. RECCOMENEDED!

French Underground Zine wrote:

The New York Wannabes are a German blues punk trash band, half male & half female, so when the topic of this duo comes up, the Cramps are a frequent point of reference. And it’s true that in songs such as “Jazz” or “Soul Brother”, Lux and Ivy seem to be lurking in the shadows and smiling in approval, while Iggy sneers along to tortured riffs reminiscent of ‘68 Comeback (“Headin’ South”) or the Gories. With Sue on drums, Lucky the Beast (!) sings, preaches and abuses his strings in true swamp rock style, with a healthy dose of hallucination and menace. I’m signing up their fan club straight away. This 33-rpm (have you noticed how this format has had a proper comeback recently?) is called Loud And Proud… Suits them rather well.

Loud and Proud: 12”
With this band name and the record titled Loud and Proud, I thought for sure this was going to be bad NYHC. I’m glad to say that I was very wrong! While this formula has been done before, not often does a band get it right like New York Wannabes have here. The band is a two-piece, male and female garage rock band from Germany that worship at the altar of Lux and Ivy. Musically, they play fucked up blues rock’n’roll, from the heart, without an ounce of pretentiousness. Anyone who is into primitive garage rock like Oblivians or the Gories should seek this out! –Mark Twistworthy (P.Trash, ptrashrecords.com)

Lux and Ivy. For the love of Ivy. Sue and Lucky.

For the love of Lucky. Or the other way round?
Doesn't matter. The couple at the heart of The Cramps had a mission: straightforward and passionate music. The same applies to the couple that is the New York Wannabes. I'm saying this because with the authority of someone who has witnessed the noisy couple's intensity
and passionate show and spirit ... more
