May 15, 2012Exister serves as a reminder that the thousands of bands aping this style of punk will never be as great as Hot Water Music.
-
Jun 1, 2012It's punk rock for the same fans who loved Hot Water Music years ago.
-
Kerrang!Jun 7, 2012Fewer songs here race and pulsate as before, but Chuck Ragan and co.'s gruff mix of grit and sweat remains in full effect. [May 2012, p.54]
-
MagnetJun 13, 2012Exister may still press a heavy thumb on the melodic rock end of the scale... but enough Caution-era magic is recaptured for us to welcome these new transmissions from Radio Free Gainesville. [No.88 p.56]

May 29, 2012While the world might miss the raw energy and exuberance of their earlier work, the more precise and mature band found on Exister is still as effective, and is definitely one that fans will want to stop and catch up with.

-
May 15, 2012A handful of tracks manage to convey some sense of energy and urgency. Few of them, though, rustle up the dark hooks that used to be HWM's greatest strength.
