    Handling pop punch with the same rightful care as punk rebellion, Sløtface aren’t indebted to any of their touchstones. Instead they’re mashing them to new, distinctive effect.

    While pulling no punches in discussing anxiety or uncertainty, their sparky indie punk still evokes sunny days and exhilarating nights. [16 Sep 2017, p.52]

    As the album unfolds, the band continue to nail the balance between rebellious anthems and cutting social commentary.

    Aat only just in their twenties, they’re still wracked with as much uncertain as they self-assure; a dichotomy conveyed perfectly across Try Not to Freak Out, and something which makes the record both ballsy, and utterly irresistable.

    Sløtface’s songs reach out to a disenfranchised youth, much like the pop-punk bands that dominated the airwaves in the late 90s and early 00s did. Although the band members may be too young to remember that time, they are doing a good job of making those who can nostalgic for it.

    As a whole, Try Not To Freak Out is a joyful blast, a John Hughes soundtrack on steroids that never loses its sunny disposition.

    Try Not To Freak Out is a solid rock record throughout.

    The Norwegian four-piece manage to be both a throwback and something refreshingly forward looking as a result.
