"Frolic & F*** has a 1970's American Punk vibe - fuzzed out, garage edged, pop hooks."
THE TRIPWIRE
"You can feel the sweat of gritty live performance on D.I.Y. pop iconoclast Ariel Aparicio's go-for-broke sophomore outing. The Hired Guns rattle & hum with authority in support of their fearless leader. Frolic & Fuck is about breaking down barriers, and that's a big welcome breath of fresh air."
AMPLIFIER
A Velvet Underground/Talking Heads meets The Replacements type of retro sixties rock. this is a transcendent album - hard hitting, emotionally affecting and overall, a definite treat to listen to."
NEUFUTUR
"An Indie Rock classic full of raw retro grit reminiscent of The Who or The Stones in the early years."
