Alternative PressSep 10, 2013This is a band in complete control of ts creative vision, and the result is a sharp, confident album. [Oct 2013, p.88]

-
UncutOct 10, 2013There's the sense that primarily, they're out to please themselves, but that's of little issue when the result is a string of three-minute knee-tremblers played with excellent chops and plenty of gusto. [Nov 2013, p.76]

Under The RadarDec 4, 2013The crew [is] doing just what they do: amped-up, straight-up rock & roll served raw, with churning guitars framing a tight rhythm section and Vocalist/guitarist Rick Froberg mercilessly beating up his voice box. [Nov-Dec 2013, p.97]
