sKRATCH Oct. 1997, issue 20
Contrary to popular belief, punk rock is difficult to play well. And for every good punk band in existence. there are dozens of god awful ones. Fortunately for folks like me ( who have have heard enough bad punk music for a lifetime) Vancouver brand new unit is absolutely one of the strongest punk releases I've heard lately. There is non-stop aggressive energy to brand new unit, which is something like a modern bastardization of Minor Threat ("So Proud Of You") and Pennywise ("Asshole, Stereo Control Freak"). They draw on a repertoire of tried and true elements of punk rock: call and response, stop-starts, tempo shifts, and an abundance of unbridled hostility. Not to be confused with "Looking Back Again" (which was released on BYO Records), "Diddley Squat" is their new stuff from Creative Man. A sure bet.

DISCORDER July, 1996.
After many delays, the wonderful new six song BNU CD is here. It's on the Heartfirst Label, which seems to love Vancouver hardcore as of late. BNU can always be counted on to get down to business and show us that they have unequalled punk rock skills. This shiny disc lets us know they are still running the show: the songs catchy and thick, the vocals are clean, and the guitars are sharp. There is no place for a wuss cuz the edge is way to aggressive than the first CD, Under The Big Top (Excursion Records). This is awesome, high energy punk that kicks the asses of the big guns on Epitaph and Fat, and they're in your own backyard.
Suki.
