Jun 12, 2014One of the best albums of the year so far.
-
Classic Rock MagazineDec 18, 2014They manage to skillfully maintain the the same semblance of being perennially on the verge of collapsing in a heap of broken guitar strings, trashed drum kit and feedback, while retaining the visceral gut-punch of the tightest, heaviest metal badasses. [Jul 2014, p.95]
-
Jun 12, 2014Riveting, memorable, substantial stuff that’ll make you sit up and listen, and possibly wear you out by the 11th song.

UncutJun 11, 2014Greys are able to take these influences forward on tracks like "Cold Soak" and "Guy Picciotto," which seethe, howl and rock, combining the energy of hardcore with some of the more abstract sounds found in contemporary noise rock. [Jul 2014, p.74]
-
Jun 11, 2014Toronto’s Greys deliver a potent dose of furious rock on the band’s first full-length, If Anything.

Q MagazineJul 11, 2014The first 25 minutes are exhilarating if a little one-dimensional, but eventually they rein in the noise slightly. [Aug 2014, p.107]
