#10 BEST ALBUM OF 2009!
Wildy's World, one of the Nation's best music blogs selects Ten Year Vamp's, Don't Act Like You Know Me, as the tenth best album of the year. Out of hundreds of albums, Don't Act Like You Know Me falls just behind Lyle Lovett and one up from Ben Folds. Go HERE for the list. "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. Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5)

"I'd love to have you on my show again. Before I had you on my show, I only had 3,000 iTunes subscribers. Since having you on my show, I have gained over 29,000 new subscribers. You probably had a lot to do with it, because your music is so "kick-ass". I thank you and owe you some gratitude to you for my success."
-Michael Jaramillo, December 31, 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!"
-Gulf Coast Music Review, October 26, 2009

“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.”
-UC Radio October 15, 2009

"You can't call them indie, although technically they are... If power pop can 'Rock' these guys rock our world! We featured Never Know on this week's show and cannot say enough good things about 10YV's amazingly tight sound! Debbie & the band deserve every award, every achievement and every success they've reached. We have a hunch the best is yet to come!" Don't Act Like You Know Me rated 5 out of 5!
-Ken Main, You Can't Make It Up 11/2/2009

"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.... For any record labels executives reading this do yourself a favor and head up to Albany, New York and sign this band, you won't be sorry."
-The CD Reviewer 10/30/2009

"You couldn’t have picked a better voice to lead a Rock Band!! This album shows the world this band is for real. Intense lyrics led by a mastermind on guitar. “Rockstar” coming to a radio station near you. Watch out this is the future of ROCK N ROLL!!"
-Album Review in The Venue (New England's Premiere Arts & Entertainment Newspaper) 2/2010

"Good strong performance, good writing. good stuff!!”
-Nick Feldman, Former Head of Sony Int'l A&R and Wang Chung Founder

"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."
- Phanary Pete Mason Upstate Live, March 2010

"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."

5 out of 5! -Gulf Coast Music Review 10/27/2009

"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."
