Megafauna will melt your face and make you tear up inside and scream YES.  There will be shredding.

Where have all the riffs gone in indie rock?  Why is everyone slathering twinkly synths on everything?  Maybe it's because Austin's Megafauna have stolen all the gnarly riffs in the world and slammed them together with singer/guitarist Dani Neff's off-kilter vocals, delivered together with a raw punk energy to create 3 minutes of taut, muscular, yet zingly melodic rock.
          —NOISEY
Frontwoman Dani Neff’s guitar playing is both impressive
from a technical angle and conducive to getting the body
moving—the perfect mix of brainy and brawny.
          —POP MATTERS
Their latest single, “Time to Go”, blends arena-sized guitar
riffs and flourishing pop melodies. Neff indulges in shoegaze
fuzz, while bassist Greg Yancey and drummer Zack Humphrey
build a thudding, low-end groove ready to shatter your car windows.
          —CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
Powerhouse. Shredder. Ax-grinding. Face-melting. Heaviosity.
The descriptive praise aimed at Megafauna guitarist Dani Neff
is piling up in both the Austin music scene and beyond.
          —TUCSON WEEKLY
Is Dani Neff the next Annie Clark? ... On the heels of 2012's Surreal Estate and last year's Maximalist, the new record builds on the band's balanced foundation: impressively complex yet melodically infectious.
          —PHOENIX NEW TIMES 
Megafauna sounds like a prog band, though Neff's knack for finding pop hooks is golden.
          —FORT WORTH WEEKLY
In a town of guitar wizards, Dani Neff is the philosopher's stone.
          —AUSTIN CHRONICLE

Easily one of the best rock bands on the scene right now
          —EXAMINER
