    This album is a thrilling, upbeat exercise in punk rock that feels like a refresher in the genre. Songs like Cold Light of the Day, Something To Rely On, and Too Little Too Late are exciting fast paced rockers that make you feel like you could take on the world.

Songs like Cold Light of the Day, Something To Rely On, and Too Little Too Late are exciting fast paced rockers that make you feel like you could take on the world. Songs like Shavambacu and Cry On My Guitar are classic feeling rock songs that make you want to walk around town in glittery platform shoes, long hair and a bandana. Lastly, the slower songs like Loaded and Killing The Joke round out this album, making it feel whole with nice little emotional breaths of air.… Expand

    While the emotions expressed on Coup de Grace often have a literate, philosophical complexity, the music crackles with a bright, youthful immediacy.

    This is snappy, high-energy stuff that might be more fun if the slick production didn't telegraph the fact that Kane wants it a bit too much. [Oct 2018, p.30]

    Coup De Grace may not radically change skeptics' perception of Kane as Turner's lesser-half. ... But dig deeper and you'll find Kane's finest work so far. [Sep 2018, p.86]
