“Wallace is at her most compelling when she fuels her own fire.”

- EARMILK

 

“A strong buzz has grown around this Toronto rock singer/songwriter…”

 

- Billboard Canada

 

“Wallace manages to marry ambitious production choices with down-to-earth lyrics and instrumentation…”

 

- NEXT Cover Story

 

“The Act of Living boasts plenty of grit, harkening the impassioned anthems that galloped buckwild all through 2016's, Something Wicked, their 2019 self-titled, and Terribly Good…’You Don't Still Have a Hold on Me’ is an unfettered, uncomplicated should-be-hit that wouldn't have sounded out of place on an episode of MuchMusic Countdown. ‘Momentum’ is pummeling, runaway garage rock with a buzzing guitar riff and dug-in bass line. The snarling "Tough Kid" swaggers with the attitude of PJ Harvey."

- Exclaim! Magazine, 8/10
