"...a sophisticated, highly arranged approach to roots music...Cox sounds like a cross between Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick and Loreena McKennitt."

"Mythica have an ethereal other-worldly sound with eloquent lyrics which accurately portray what it means to be a 21st century Celt.  A true fusion of our Celtic heritage with the future.  Its a pleasure to publicise this band!"
-Bill Everatt, Celtica Radio

"Four stars!  Beautiful guitar work and even better violin make this folk/Celtic EP rise to the top of its genre.  All around  a very well-played, well-put together album, Dangerous Little Monster is four strong and well-structured songs that are bound to get a rise out of the hill-dancing, rainbow-following little monster in you." 
-Origivation Magazine

"Mythica has put together a brilliant collection of 4 songs on “Dangerous Little Monster”. Mythica’s style blends seamlessly combining the old world sound of the hammered dulcimer and violin with the new world sound of the acoustic guitar and bass. Melissa Cox’s powerful vocals tie it all together for a phenomenal sound that is mesmerizing."  -

"[Mythica's] lyrics are poignant and very descriptive left by open wounds of the heart. The music has a wonderful melodic progression with outstanding harmony vocals. The vocals are bold...The melodies are original and very strong." -Song of the Year

"The song [elijah, elijah] did it. Damn! This is one fine, extraordinary piece of work...All my hats are off to you, though I still don't understand why... Steely soft, rough velvet; testostrogen?"  -GodsofMusic.com

“Superman is such a great song!” - Johnny B, DJ, 93.7 FM WSTW

"Give Superman a listen and try to say you don't feel something different inside you as it finishes. Trust me, that isn't going to happen." -GodsofMusic.com

"The act that stood out most for me was Melissa Cox, an astoundingly talented guitarist and lyricist with a truly beautiful voice. My daughter enjoyed her and flautist/vocalist Nicole Gallagher, as she danced around throughout the set. Check out Melissa and Nicole in their Celtic Fusion band Mythica. You will not be disappointed." - Joe Madjeski, political blogger & music critic (full story)
