CJ Laity of ChicagoPoetry.com said: "[»radiant devices«] takes to the stage and, wow! They use found objects, including a satellite dish, a chain, a gas tank, a big piece of sheet metal and a thick spring as musical instruments to compliment their off the wall, punk-rock poetry performance art. When I think of Mojdeh performing her poetry into a bullhorn I think of a female Jello Biafra."


»radiant devices« have shared the stage with notable acts like Saul Williams, John Legend (Columbia Records), Malik Yusef (Grammy Winner), Shirley King (BB King's Daughter), Marc Kelly Smith (founder of Slam Poetry Movement), Kevin Coval (5x HBO Def Poet), and others.

Rob Putnam of MUSIC CONNECTION said: "This ensemble represents a different kind of sound. Their genre and lyrics will likely appeal to a younger crowd that is perhaps weary of pop or alternative. They're all competent musicians and the band is working hard to get its name out. These artists have done their homework and are headed in their own direction. Fans of folkcore, or anyone just looking for something new, might do well to check them out."
