"...kicking people, pulling men down onto the ground by their shirts and standing on their backs while playing, spitting, sitting subdued on the stage looking like she was about to cry, jumping over the drum set, and even jumping off stage to curl up on the floor in what I can only describe as a rock-gasm... I am now in love."
- E. Scott Rivera, Mind City [MORE]

"Raucous, in-your-face grunge rock that will kick your ass in a good way, just like the lead singer." -AUSTIN SOUNDCHECK

"This is three-piece rock the way it should be done. No nonsense, no noodling filler or precocious fidgeting. One Eyed Doll hits you right in the face with what I perceive to be a cross breeding of early Jane’s Addiction, Siouxsie and The Banshees, and The Breeders all balled up into one intense, leather-gloved punch. The band’s level of presence is high, and you have to watch them closely because they really make it look too god dammed easy." - John Pfeiffer, The Aquarian [MORE]

"It’s as if an over-caffeinated, punk rock-loving Chinese girl broke into the studio and recorded [Monster] while holding the producer at gunpoint... And then pulled the trigger…" - Karsten Krooss, EDGE MAGAZINE [MORE]

"A live show by One-Eyed Doll is part metal concert and part mischievous performance art. Songs alternate between childlike lullabies and fist-pounding anthems. There are props, makeup, and costumes. It's surreal cabaret more than straightforward rock show. But Kimberly Freeman's raw energy and unabashed sincerity are so strong that these bells and whistles never come off as token gimmickry. It always feels fresh and real, which is a hard line to straddle." Ajay Miranda, NITES ATX

"In live performance, Kimberly Freeman of One-Eyed Doll, combines the rock-star bravado of a Jack White (or Jack Black) with the visual impact of a Japanese Anime... a super heroine that's alternately fierce, outrageous, vulnerable and sweet. Dressed like a punk-metal baby doll, she punctuates her raging guitar work with a a three-foot mane of hair she whips and flails about rhythmically, mesmerizing the audience with displays of physical agility that literally burst the confines of the stage... If you haven't seen them, what are you waiting for?!" Marsha Mann, INSITE MAGAZINE

"[Break] is a wonderful representation of this band’s body of work. It’s real. That’s probably the most important thing. The songs are honest." - Sean Claes, INSITE Magazine [MORE]

"Singing, songwriting, guitar-weilding punk doll Kimberly Freeman is the creator of this super-charged anime-style rock due, screeching out nursery rhymes and cooing evil phrases throughout an energizing, forceful album of precocious ditties like, "Scapegoat" and the creepy, "Meth Monster". Her belted-out ferocity and fabulous looks remind me of Dominique of Stolen Babies, but the music's less self-conscious, more ballsy Pixies meets Siouxsie meets Hole. Austin's One-Eyed Doll is captivating, wild and never predictable, the way indie rock should be." Celine, SENTIMENTALIST MAGAZINE (NY) [MORE]

"Adorned with humungous guitar riffs and Kimberly Freeman's sugared girlish voice, the debut album Hole will send you into a fit of pleasurable desolation." Lauren Proctor, JUST PRESS PLAY MAGAZINE [MORE]

"Between her metalesque guitar assault, sweet-toned yet fierce voice, danger-laden lyrics, and eclectic make-up, Freeman directs the band persona to something like heavy rock Japanese anime." Don Thomas, The Amplifier Magazine [MORE]

"It is like Rodgers and Hammerstein writing a musical of a Grimms Brothers fairy tale after developing a crystal meth habit." - Bluesbunny UK [MORE]

"The band has a wonderfully theatrical style, but they are a rock band. A kick ass rock band." -Sepiachord [MORE]

"Freeman, a model-beautiful, charismatic, semi-darkwave frontwoman who has the ability to shred mercilessly and has a decidedly kick-ass voice... a kind of female version of The Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, nails her vocal performance." - Tom Urquhart, Fort Worth Weekly [MORE]
