Ten Year Vamp Review In Upstate Live
3/2010
“Debbie’s great vocals and intense energy on stage is something to behold with her hair flying yet somehow returning to it’s original place adds a ‘hot’ factor that isn’t seen much with live acts… this band was very energetic and action heavy compared to most bands that just stand there and do not engage the crowd…. Hearing their next original ‘Rockstar’ bothered me, only because this band was somehow unsigned, yet pulled crowds into frenzy and generated rocking tunes throughout spot-on covers of traditional and newer rockers…. The crowd was jumping, screaming, loving the band to the extent that it was difficult to navigate their way off stage for another setbreak…. The band’s camaraderie I observed during setbreak was uncanny; they could easily be mistaken for brothers and sisters joking around and having a good laugh, keeping a positive, but not naive outlook on things…. The band played strong till 3:30am, long after it was time for me to call it a night. Ten Year Vamp puts on one helluva show for any music fan.”

Luka Cafe Album Review
3/30/2010
“Ten Year Vamp are fronted by the expressive Debbie Gabrione and play a catchy brand of rock on this album. “Never Know” charges along at top speed and has a dynamite lead vocal part. “Pleasures (That I Call Mine)” sees Gabrione sing of owning and accepting one’s sexuality. It’s catchy and has an impressive guitar part by Andrew Foster. It’s a hot song in many sense of the word. If Foo Fighters had a female singer this would be the sound they’d make. “I Don’t Need” sees the narrator assert her independence in the face of a troubled relationship and it sounds convincing. It’s as ever catchy and charging. “Call It” sees the band play another winner, and Gabrione’s vocal is especially strong here. It’s a cool record by any standards.“
-Luka Cafe, 3/30/2010
“Good strong performance, good writing. good stuff!!”

“The band’s Don’t Act Like You Know Me works well as a spotlight for the band’s music. Frankly I can’t understand why Ten Year Vamp isn’t a household name already in the music scene… this band should be headlining the shows….

10 Out Of 10 Album Review at the Gulf Coast Music Review
October 26, 2009
“Big Message + High Intensity = Big Hit! Is the formula that best describes TYV’s Don’t Act Like You Know Me! While Don’t Act Like You Know Me celebrates the independence, and with that the problems, of modern woman, front woman Debbie’s sex appeal passion and soul combined with TYV’s hard rockin’, in your face music appeals to the widest pop/rock audience… I rate them 10 out of 10 and a thumbs up!”

“I was blown away by this band right away… The first time that I heard the lead singer Debbie Gabrione’s voice, I was hooked. They got great songs, excellent lyrics, great melodies, and like I said, Debbie’s voice just ties it all together. The album Don’t Act Like You Know Me, is solid all the way through… I ended up buying the album and wanted to play almost every song on the show today… On top of it all, Debbie is just f&%$in hot… This is a top of the UC Radio List recommendation.”

Our Second Offical Album Review!
Wildy’s World 9/25/2009
“Don’t Act Like You Know Me, shapes up to be one of the most dynamic rock albums of the year… Debbie Gabrione is the sort of front woman they make movies about, and the rest of the band is incredibly tight. With a sound already refined and highly marketable, Ten Year Vamp just needs that one big break to fall in place. It will happen sooner or later; music this good just doesn’t stay hidden. Don’t Act Like You Know Me is brilliant; a Wildy’s World Certified Desert Island Disc. Don’t miss it.”

Greenbush Life 9/19/2009
“A disc that brilliantly captures the urgency of their sound and the relentless passion of their live performance. From the opening track “Never Know” to the cd’s conclusion, “Goodbye,” this record boasts a unique sounds laced with hints of Green Day’s musical complexity and enhanced by Gabrione’s intense and incisive lyrics… There is nothing generic or gimmicky about the music of Ten Year Vamp. When Debbie Gabrione sings of “… a secret you will never know” – one thing is certain – no one needs to know the secret to enjoy the musical rush on the new Ten Year Vamp cd. The music is in your face. The songs will move your soul. This is a cd that flat out rocks.”

Ten Year Vamp Voted #1 Best Local Band in the Capital Region Living Magazine
May 2009
For the 2nd year in a row, Capital Region Living Magazine votes Ten Year Vamp as the best band. Here’s the full quote:
Ten Year Vamp
Performing with famous bands like Nickelback and Gavin DeGraw and landing on the Billboard charts are just a few accomplishments of this female-fronted rock band. This five-member band has sold thousands of CD’s and has performed two to four shows a week for over five years. They have performed all over the Capital Region and with their high energy and rocking music they are certainly a band you don’t want to miss.

Ten Year Vamp Voted #1 Best Rock Band in Metroland 2009 Readers Poll
March 5, 2009
5 years in a row voted Best Rock Band by the Capital District readers. Here’s the quote:
Best Local Rock Band
1. Ten Year Vamp
2. The Velmas
3. Super 400
Ten years is starting to seem like a modest amount of vamping time, judging by the number of times these guys have taken top honors. The Velmas were a close second this year, though. And it must be something about that power trio thing that earned Super 400 the bronze. Oh yeah: They rock.

Daily Gazette Article (8/5/2008)
“Albany-based Ten Year Vamp opened the show with a powerhouse set centered on their originals. They are good — as individuals and together — and it was hard to watch them work so hard and only be the warm-up act. Singer Debbie Gabrione is more energy and presence than vocals, though you can’t separate the elements on stage. [Greg Nash] has the skills and concepts of a jazz-fusion drummer, his limbs carving every angle of the tune.
From the first beat of the opener they exploded. They stated with their work ethic that they’re serious. Some of the songs started with the members leaping in place together. Bassist [Tim Keenan] and guitarist Mark Rose don’t appear to be the jumping-spinning boy-band type, but they’re not above it either, and they don’t have to be. Their music stands strong, even when they covered Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” in their power-rock style. Gabrione mentioned that they play regularly in seven states. How good will they have to be to reach all 50?”

2008 Metroland Reader’s Poll: Ten Year Vamp Wins…
“Best Alternative Rock Band”
“Local Celebrity You’d Like To Have A One Night Stand With”
“Best Ass” (Believe it or not, Mark won this one :)
Metroland Cover Story (1/31/08)
“Ten Year Vamp don’t win crowds over; they own them. The next time I catch them is at Sandy’s Clam Bar in Glens Falls, where the atmosphere is like a European rock festival. Then, down by Poughkeepsie’s waterfront at Mahoney’s, the place is so over-capacity that bouncers help with load-out. Ten Year Vamp bumper stickers are smeared across the asses and pint glasses of the masses, and it seems right.”
– Bill Ketzer, Metroland (1/31/2008)
CD On Tap Magazine (1/29/08)
“This high-energy kick-ass rock band is five years young but consistently outperforms bands with decades under their belt.”

Review In Metroland Magazine
“Tight, white-hot and endlessly attacking the downbeat from the gun… Drinks were spilled. Souls were lost…. the band caught more air than Blink 182 backing David Lee Roth on a McDonaldland trampoline…. And, of course, you have leading lady Debbie Gabrione. Sure, Gabrione is a looker, a prime selling point for the band, she plats the manes of her horses in the night with toasts and promises and a sort of reassuring elemental satisfaction… their radiance is infectious.”
– Bill Ketzer, Metroland (5/2006)

Blog Review
“I’ve been digging on live music since I was in college, and I have rarely seen a local band just own a crowd the way Ten Year Vamp owned the crowd at Bayou Cafe on Saturday night. They had a couple hundred people just eating out of their hands all night long. Seriously – I dug the music, but it was their showmanship and how much the crowd obviously was having a great time that really made the experience for me…. I find myself really awestruck whenever I see a performer who has mastered the art of working a crowd — and Debbie can transfer her own energy to 200 people and then amp them all up to 11. So much of rock is about more than the music — it’s all in the presentation… and I’m telling you, these guys have “it”. This was as impressive an “undiscovered”/local band as I’ve seen in a very long time.”
