    It's heavy, it's catchy, it's relentlessly brilliant and, above all else, it's still quite unlike anything else you're likely to hear this year. [May 2012, p.94]

    There's little about Dead Set on Living that isn't an improvement on the band's past efforts, from the thunderous guitar tones to the frenetic energy pouring out of every song, courtesy of live-off-the-floor recording.

    Dead Set On Living is raw, visceral and an antidote to the glossy sounds and polished looks that abound right now. [114 2012, p.52]
  5. DSOL speaks the dirty rocker punk kvlt language that could put Pantera and Gallows fans side by side.
