    I saw this band on Letterman and had to find out who they were. I was really impressed by their look and sound which is unique but which also reminds me of early clash, bauhaus and joy division. Download all of their other EPs (on iTunes), and make yourself another 30 minute album which is just as good as this new release. Would love to see them live. I'll bet their shows are awesome.I saw this band on Letterman and had to find out who they were.

    A very great punk rock album. The music and vocals are some of the most riveting I've heard in some time, particularly those of the opening track. The other tracks are mostly quite good, but didn't reach the amazing level of first one.

    Noisy aggressive post punk music here, similar to Joy Division, Bowhouse and Holograms. Full of energy, ferociousness, re-verb and decent production. Not really engaging though and the vocals are pretty uninteresting. The songs don't stick much either to me.

    Singer/lyricist George Mitchell sings clean and fairly melodically, but with convincing disaffection.

    The Eagulls’ album does a fantastic job of funneling the band’s energy. That’s the good part. But as for the subtleties--the way that players interact, the fit between chug and melody, the depth that emerges with occasional negative space--you won’t find any of that here.

    A single-minded, yet ultimately baffling experience. [Apr 2014, p.95]
