Feb 20, 2015Recorded in just two days, the excitement coursing through Mourn's entire 24 minutes (including the bonus track "Boys Are Cunts") makes its funny, scary, pissed-off punk that much more irresistible.

Feb 13, 2015There's no denying the highly enjoyable nature of their raw, emotive debut; that they're so young only means there's potential for even better things to come.

-
Feb 12, 2015Mourn exhibits a young band fully aware of their own qualities: fierceness, confidence and brutally simple songwriting.

Q MagazineFeb 25, 2015Clocking in at 23 minutes, they're never in danger of outstaying their welcome, even if raucous blasts such as Misery Factory implode too quickly to become actual songs. [Apr 2015, p.108]
