Apr 26, 201280Tosta Mista fades like a film score and then hit you with a bang on "Clap." [Feb 2012, p.89]

Mar 27, 201270Dammit if they're not real handy at no-fi surf-rock jangle ... an unapologetically upbeat 23 minutes.
-
Mar 16, 201270By focusing on the sweetest of hooks amid some wonderfully retro-twanging surf guitar and licks from dusty Tijuana barrooms, it really clicks with immediate effect.... This is quite the upbeat treat.

Mar 29, 201260At their best – on ESP, the title track, or Jubb – Hooded Fang are the kind of pleasantly brattish garage poppers we've heard a thousand times before, and will hear a thousand times again.
-
Mar 29, 201260Simple, lo-fi surf rock fuelled by Daniel Lee's charismatic, laconic singing and melodies as memorable as ever.

Mar 29, 201250While Hooded Fang's two-and-a-half minute pop songs are absolutely fine, you'll struggle to find the time for them when there are already so many better ones out there.
