"While many bands draw from a wide variety of sources, few move beyond mere regurgitation. Squid Fist’s complex musical vocabulary ceaselessly explores sonic extremity. The lightning speed snare fury and unintelligible vocalizations of black metal couples with the clatter and bombast of found metal objects melded together by rewired circuitry of discarded consumer electronics.
-Isaac Rotto of Gay Beast
"There's no doubt that noise-improv group Squid Fist remains one of the most unpredictable and uncompromisingly aggressive bands we've heard in a long time."
-WNUR Radio, Chicago's Sound Experiment
"Squid Fist are from Minneapolis, and seem to live in a Black Metal cave while foraging in noise trashcans for tender morsels. Thrashing and clattering, squirming and squeaking, a 2001-esque new-rebirth-style space baby is being born on this very stage for you."
