Jul 7, 2014Postpunk, hardcore, krautrock and odd, spacey lounge-jazz are all sucked up and bent brilliantly out of shape over the course of an album that's abrasive but accessible, awkward but assured. Properly special stuff.
-
Jun 26, 2014As their name suggests, they have all the control over the music, and how they channel that is through wonderful anarchy.
-
Jun 26, 2014If this is the end of whatever this is, they’ve recorded a superlative piece of work which leaves us on one hell of a high, despite it sounding anything but high itself.

Jun 26, 2014Even with their most aesthetically orthodox track, Total Control's total message is radical.
-
Sep 2, 2014Hopefully Total Control can continue because, brutal as it is, Typical System is the year's finest punk album.

Jul 3, 2014The five-piece isn’t interested in comfort, but rather an intensity created directly by that push-pull exchange, their strangely humorous song titles, and primitive, warlike lyrics.
