PAST SHOWS
-Motif Magazine 11/07
Six Star General harkens back to the noisy indie 80's rock power trio format made famous by Dinosaur Jr and Husker Du. Already On One, their 2007 release, showcases their fusion of indie guitar swing, punk and a bit of Crazy Horse-era Neil Young.

-Providence Monthly Ice Machine Review
A pure-power trio, Six Star General delivers jagged, angular riffs in the vein of Wire, but with the swagger and punch of Black Flag. The simple lyrics beg to be chanted loudly in bars and the songs don't hang around long enough to indulge in solos, but for fans of powerful guitar rock, this is definately one to check out.

-Providence Phoenix Ice Machine Review by Bob Gulla
Old school indie rock that hearkens back to the time when indie rock had balls. Recorded in four hours with no overdubs, this 11-song monster is a groove-a-rama in the vein of early Minutemen and Yo La Tengo, with lots of wah-wah, savage bass-drum rhythms, and angular brawn.
