-Robert M. Knight, Legendary Music Photographer

"There is no f*cking reason Varna aren't r*ping the sh*t out of rock radio right now. They have the sound down f*cking pat, they obviously know their market."

 “Along comes Varna, who combines the things that are really good about both. The music is heavy enough to be considered metal, yet radio friendly at the same time. The band plays really well and with some well done female vocals, this thing is all killer-no filler.”

“Varna have released one EP titled ‘This Time, Its Personal’, and it is a killer EP. 3 tracks that are all begging for huge commercial success. If it was possible to buy shares in bands on the stockmarket, I would be putting a bit of my hard earned cash into Los Angeles’ three piece rock monster, Varna.”

Bottom line is that "This Time, It's Personal" is a simply fantastic EP by VARNA that impressed me and left me hungry for more! Yes, this band is so talented and that's a thing that reflects in its music. I'm looking forward to a full-length album in the near future 'cause this band is build for bigger things!

"VARNA have a great commercial rock sound but at the same time they still have their own sound that stands out from the rock crowd. This lady (Tiana) can REALLY sing and I have to admit, she has one of the best female rock vocals I have heard in a while. In my opinion she is up there with some of todays great female rockers like Hayley Williams (Paramore) and Lzzy Hale (Halestorm)."

"Varna. What can I say about this band other than WOW. I’ve had their new “This Time, It’s Personal” EP on repeat almost the entire week, a pretty astonishing feat for any track in my library. A hard rock edge, catchy female vocals, intricate guitar work and solid drums; a perfect mix in my book. I have a good feeling about this band going into the future."

"Tiana's vocals blow it out of the water. She's has an amazingly powerful voice, so loud, clear and with obvious emotion, I'd love to be able to sing along side her as the song plays but I could never compete with her range."

"Drawing on influences from pop to hard rock, they've found a way to meld them together in perfect harmony and sound like a band that's been together far longer than the 3 years they have under their belts together."

"Here we have an interesting three tracker that if the quality here was extended to a full length album, then we would be talking massive. This is rather good, it should not be ignored and as a consequence deserves one's attention."

"Varna may have just released their debut EP, but they clearly already know what they’re doing. With strong female vocals, thrashing guitars and pounding drums, Varna introduces themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Varna sounds amazing, and that’s an understatement. In three songs, rock fans can fall head over heels in love with this edgy three-piece."
