SpinStuff this simple can turn into art that's fantastic or a fantastic disaster. Coachwhips walk the line masterfully. [Feb 2005, p.91]
-
What makes Coachwhips bigger than the rock n'roll n'amphetamines and extreme petting that inevitably gets etched on them is sheer, dirty, bone-corroding, untamed noise.
-
It's hard to believe at first listen, but they've got nuance.
-
No less of a passion-scratched, damp-sheet-scrumple of an affair than its predecessors.
-
MojoFor the most part still playing it breakneck and fuzz-covered, their trademark garage-scuzz-meets-hardcore blitzkreig is if anything more rough-riffed and faster. [Mar 2005, p.101]
-
Another album to blow up the cemetery to.
-
New Musical Express (NME)Frontman John Dwyer still sounds like he's singing through a kazoo, the drummer is still obviously banging away on cardboard boxes and keyboardist Val-Tronic plays like all her fingers are broken. [5 Mar 2005, p.50]
-
While not a live album at all, PB & J does indeed live with its own throbbing, messy scariness that demands that the volume be turned all the way up to 11, threatening to eat your brain if you dare leave it lower.
-
Another goddamn home run.
-
Either you’ll go nuts for this or run screaming from it.
-
A blur of primal guitar stomp wrapped in a menacing swirl of vintage organs and distorted vocals.
