Editorial review
Despite the fact that twelve of the thirteen tracks on Devil on My Mind are original compositions, there's a vague familiarity permeating them all. This can be attributed to the fact that anyone who has lived through the '80s has probably heard these bouncy riffs and cheesy power pop licks at one time or another. Obvious strains of the Go-Go's can be heard on "Dead On" and the punchy bass hooks on "Fringe Authority" brings the Pretenders readily to mind. From the opening track of the Devo classic "Girl U Want" all the way to the gutsy Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) and quirky Dale Bozzio (Missing Persons) delivery of "When a Boy Meets a Girl" and "Lone Ranger," Simon Stinger has revived new wave sass with added modern rock sophistication and get the grooves just right. Devil on My Mind is authentic, innovative and lots of fun. ~ Roxanne Blanford, All Music Guide

"Tough, sexy, and whipsmart...Stinger's singer is bionic & the songs alluring," says A.P. Mag. Stinger's cool melodies, and smooth groovy beats come to life with a fringe of euro trash & noir soundtrack around the edges...a soundtrack to the lives of the new seductive insatiable generation.
↓ more ↓The San Francisco bay area's modern rock group founded by vocalist Alicia Peron and bassist Victor James, delivers floor bombs and live choreography that're exciting, daring, and smooth, with a provocative sound that is undeniable."
In their first month as a band, Stinger released their debut on 7" vinyl on their own Muscle Car Records. Two months later, their first CD "Private Collection" followed, also on Muscle Car/C2 Records. The following year, their 2nd CD release, the 13-song "Devil On My Mind," produced by John Ryan (Santana) was supported so strongly by bay area press, radio, and retail, they were offered a deal by Chicago Kid Records to release it in April 2001. Film music supervisors reacted the same way; in January 2002 the Miramax motion picture "Diamonds" starring Kirk Douglas , Dan Aykroyd, Lauren Bacall, and Jenny MacArthy, featured "Fringe Authority" alongside Elvis' "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" The group also had a cameo in the film. SF Weekly's Silke Tudor said "led by the enchanting force that is Alicia Peron, Simon Stinger landed a cameo and song in the Miramax comedy "Diamonds," but that's a small accomplishment next to the realization of "Devil On My Mind" - the most dazzling, fun, and charmingly insolent album Ive heard this year." In August 2002, 15,000 copies of a CD sampler "Here's Your Heart Back" were released by sponsor Saicomm Industries to Simon Stinger fans all over the world. This CD is now out of circulation, but can still be found for sale on ebay. Stinger's 3rd full length CD "Some Kinda Voodoo" was released by Ann-Margrock Music in November 2003 featuring the production of Sylvia Massy Shivy (Tool, Powerman 5000, System of a Down, Johnny Cash, Bjork, Prince) at Radio Star Studios. Six tracks from Some Kinda Voodoo were added to heavy rotation at AOL Broadband Radio & Netscape Radio. Two of the tracks "French Connection" and "Madame X" were added by music director Cameo Carlson to the AOL alternative station "Best of 2004-2005."
In May 2005 French Connection was Itunes featured single of the week. During their feature, the band charted at #96 of TOP 100 albums overall & #15 of the TOP 100 alternative albums in the alternative genre. In the same year, Elektra senior VP of A&R & former Cars vocalist, Ric Ocasek, chose Stinger to be his next musical project for the label. With Elektra Records folding into Atlantic in 2004, the deal was history.
In 2005 Stinger recorded some of their newest tracks to be released on the upcoming CD "Boom-Boom Room" coming out on Sylvia Massy Shivy's cutting-edge National Recorder label in 2006.

Killer cd, with more energy than 10 others put togetherleo9teen wrote on March 29, 2008
Before Fans of Jimmy Century, there was Simon Stinger, and this is my favorite one of their cds. Every track delivers, there's no filler here, folks, it's the real deal. Magnetic and addictive, this stuff, with energy to spare, and Alicia's vocals are beyond infectious - she is one of the best singers I've ever heard, plain and simple, with a voice that evokes so many different emotions all at one time, just brilliant. The songs are beautifully written and superbly realized, each and every one. Alicia, you rock my world.
