    This record is a testament to its creators’ endurance. It has also resulted in an absolute creative peak.

    The Incessant serves as a demarcation point for both Sutter and Meat Wave. It’s the sound of a band fighting through the darkness in order to find something new and sounding emboldened by the process.

    The Incessant is an enraged punk album with the occasional sombre stupor slinked within. [18 Feb 2017, p.54]

    There are slivers of upbeat melodic punk here and there (Run You Out, No Light), but the final annihilator, Killing the Incessant, serves to remind you that this is an album meant for breathless angst, fists in the air, spit in your hair.

    Like love, The Incessant is not for the faint of heart, but it's a gripping and deeply personal piece of art and another solid release from this gritty, all-or-nothing trio.

    The SideOneDummies channel their angst into breathlessly muscular hooks and moments of chilling, claustrophobic self-reflection, often within the same song.

    The album could have done with a few tracks less but apart from the tightening up, it's a great move forward, placing you in the shadows or running through said corridor trying to escape an axe-wielding murderer.
