Alex Vissia: Young Love Album Review - Nick Murray, Greengrass Radio - April 28, 2013
"The best tracks on Young Love are the ones Alex penned herself; she is a brilliant and thoughtful lyricist. The title track is fantastic; “Letting Go” and “Room to Grow” are both sentimental and self-explanatory. Those three alone would make a pretty impressive EP."

Alex Vissia: There’s Nothing She’d Rather Do - D. C. Johnson, The Griff - January 22, 2013
"...Vissia wants a connection with the audience. She wants to engage her listeners and have them feel something by the time she leaves the stage."

A Passion for Performing - Thomas Miller, Lloydminster Source - October 18, 2012

A little bit of country, a little bit of rock and roll - Jason Hewlett, Kamloops News - May 3, 2012
"Audiences will hear all nine tracks from A Lot Less Gold, which harkens back to her roots and country beginnings only with a heavier sound. [Alex's] music, she said, is rock and roll."

Singer Alex Vissia Opens Up About New Album A Lot Less Gold - Alex J MacPherson, Verb News - March 23, 2012
"Her latest effort, the cryptic A Lot Less Gold, is the sort of album that rewards multiple listens. Readily accessible yet slow to surrender its secrets, the record offers ample opportunities for exploration — and some old fashioned rock & roll."

"Singing rock/country songs with the clear and sultry voice that Lana Del Rey pretends to have, Vissia delivers pearls of wisdom for your foolish ears."

Album Review - Kootenay Co-op Radio, Music Database - December 8, 2011
"Alberta singer/songwriter Alex Vissia writes good songs and has a fine voice to do it with. She's young, and is definitely going places."

Big Journey, Bigger Voice: Alex Vissia Takes Her Debut Disc on the Road - Matthew Bisson, Sound in the City blog - December 7, 2011
"The Eva Cassidy-meets-Serena Ryder vocals that propel her debut, are those of a mere 22 year old... It's hard not to notice the intensely personal nature of songs like Blue Flowers and Ghostly Yearning, which are powered by her rich, mature vocals."

Vissia Tries Out New Sound with Her Debut Solo Album - Stephanie McKay, The Star Phoenix - December 1, 2011
"Though she started her music career as a young woman in a folk-roots trio with her two younger sisters, Alex Vissia is ready to fly solo for a while."

Weekend Guide with Alex Vissia @ Palomino Saturday Nov 26th! - Jonathen MacDonald, www.StampedeSix.com - November 24, 2011
"...This sweet heart will croon you into falling in love with her Saturday."

Ear Full: A Lot Less Gold Album Review - Billy Davey, The Meliorist - November 23, 2011
"When I first started listening to A Lot Less Gold I thought it would be another generic folk album. But, upon hearing the chorus of “Get Well Soon” and “Ursa,” I was convinced otherwise."

Alex Vissia Introduces Audience to Original Folk Pop - Richard Amery, L.A. Beat - November 16, 2011
"[Alex] reminded me a lot of Serena Ryder with her beautifully warbling voice. She showed some superb vocal range and played some catchy guitar as her band kept step behind her. They took five for a spell as she donned an acoustic guitar and showed she could carry things on her own."

A Little Rock & Country at Joe's - Comox Valley Record - November 15, 2011

Album Review: Alex Vissia Mines a Lot of Gold on Debut CD - Richard Amery, L.A. Beat - November 14, 2011
"There is a lot of Serena Ryder in her voice as well as numerous other female singers like Sheryl Crow and a touch of Sue Foley... Her young, vibrant, and very appealing voice also has elements of jazz, especially on “Goodnight Moonlight"..."

Songstress to Play at Bud's - Joshua Estabrooks, The Columbia Valley Pioneer - November 11, 2011

LIVE! Alex Vissia at The Artery (Pics & Tour Dates) - Michael Senchuk, www.NewMusicMichael.com - November 11, 2011
"I love [Alex's] attitude, by the way. She’s got this sweet, soulful voice, she’s an amazing songwriter… folk rock I suppose you’d call her (she didn’t even touch an acoustic in the first set), but yet it seems like there’s a ‘rocker chick’ inside her somewhere, maybe just a swig of whiskey away. I absolutely loved her music, and am definitely psyched to listen to the album in the coming days."

"The Vissia Sisters, also known as the Plain Janes, are as much a staple of Edmonton’s folk-roots scene as Bill Bourne or the McDades."

"I love getting email from local artists... one artist who is exceptionally talented, and I’m overjoyed that I get to talk about, is Alex Vissia..."

No more Plain Janes, "A Lot Less Gold" for Alex Vissia - Brandi Morin, Stony Plain Reporter/Grove Examiner - October 28, 2011
"The jazzy "Goodnight, Moonlight" is reminiscent of Billie Holiday's sound with a hint of Adele in Vissia's new, sophisticated, grown up sound."
