Sounds Like: "While the full-lengthed Exit Strategy seemed to draw from mid-period Ministry and Stewart Copeland's Klark Kent project, the new collection is a more composed amalgamation of hypnotic, Fripp-esque guitar textures and the bending chimpgaze swirl of the finer Swirlies recordings." - Clicky Clicky Music Blog

"Strong messages and even stronger music untouched by the hand of commerciality and all the better for it" - CultureDeluxe

"Sinewy, spare and fragmented rock numbers that slap together spoken word, feedback, forthright grooves and profanity into a strangely arresting product" - Clicky Clicky Music Blog

"Weird, this is true, but in a way that seems just right" - Lost In Your Inbox
