About Me

"what could have happened to make you so mad?" isaac, ksua radio, alaska
------
"[Baby Guts] possess real power, charisma, and a raw beauty.... Add to that skyscraper-high above average lyrics, and you have yourself a recipe for what could soon be one of the defining punk bands to ascend the stage (or the floor) in years."
Verbicide Magazine
"Baby Guts see your Spiderfighter, raise you a rerecorded Pretty on the Inside that is actually listenable."
PogoPrincess
"...their raw, shrieking passion is totally punk-rock in the best Bikini Kill tradition, like the battle cry of a lost tribe of Amazon warrior women."
-the ONION Twin Cities A.V. Club
"They will rock your mind until yr cool and i can tolerate hanging out around you." -chad from coin
"crappy punk band with girl singer" -sneaking a look at the soundguy's notes at the uptown bar
