“Suzie Stapleton doesn’t fuck around. Her new release, 5-Track EP ‘Obladi Diablo’ has a Dirty Three and Nick Cave-like gritty Aussie folk quality to it; it breathes and broods and seethes and lives.” – Milk Bar Mag

“Each of the tracks on the EP is an antidote to the insidious disease that is flaccid pop… There’s a depth of expression and passion on Obladi Diablo you don’t find in the ordinary record. Pop music… needs a serious prod from songwriters like Suzie Stapleton to remind it just what good music can sound like.” – Beat Magazine

“One of the worlds most dynamic, authentic and gifted contemporary artists.” - Toorak Times

"Murky and powerfully voiced ballads from a bluesy Melbourne songstress....She sounds like the devil convincing you to sell your soul." – Tone Deaf
