About Me

'This music is utterly menacing, but completely engrossing'. - 4/5 Drowned in Sound
'Dark and unnervingly addictive'. - KKKK Kerrang!
'a league of their own. Nice'. - 8/10 Rock Sound
They were amazing. So fuckin noisey. And they didnt even have a drummer. - The Collective Zine.
it took my ears two days to recover from their atomizing songs about fucking. - Freedom from excessive noise ZINE
At times Ann Arbor appear almost determined to blow the venue up such is the power of what they do. - Atomic Duster.com
sounds like their playing heavy duty crane cable rather than guitar strings - UKBase Zine
It comes and goes in a flash leaving you wanting more of this noble sound. If they are named in honor of the Stooges hometown then well done. - Bleed Music
Ann Arbor have been compared to Shellac but as they utilise drum machines & electronics I'd say there's equally parts of Big Black, Godflesh & Ministry in their sound, albeit instrumental. There's also some chunky, funky twangy stuff going on that could murder a dancefloor or two!
These two (count 'em) brilliant CDs (16 Bit & A Long Trip) we have in both rip yer head off & shit down yer neck. For the laugh. Dunno why they aren't mega stars already. So for your caustic journeys of isolation & despair ridden angst filled RAGE look no further.(Norman Records)
