"Filled with catchy riffs and heavy grooves, the album easily proves that it can stand next to any top-40 album on the charts today... With a strong band dynamic, and enigmatic front woman and a business sense usually reserved for Wall Street boardrooms, Ten Year Vamp is taking the musical, and business, world by storm. With a string of catchy tunes, a good production team and a strong vision for their future, it’s only a matter of time before the band, which has opened for Lifehouse, Simple Plan and the Spin Doctors, jumps to the top of the marquee of concert halls across the country."
-Guitar International, November 20, 2009
"2009 was a busy year for the indie-rock band from Albany, NY. Ten Year Vamp was not only busy for the calender filled scores of concert appearences, but they released their first hard-pounding with no disappointment full length album entitled, Don't Act Like You Know Me...
Ten Year Vamp is probably THE most successful indie band of 2009"
-The Great Unknown Presents, January 1, 2010
"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
"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)
-Wildy's World 9/25/2009
“ 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.”

"This is a fantastic album... An album you've got to check out"
-Zack "The Mothman" Daggy 9/6/2009
"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!

"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."

"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."

"It sounds like money—that is to say, it’s well-written and performed, slickly produced and extremely marketable."
