"A nine song EP from these New England crust punks whose style is 100% true to the regional d-beat driven genre. Definitely comparable to DISRUPT, STATE OF FEAR, REACT, A.O.S, MAN THE CONVEYORS, etc. Music is solid, recording is above average and packaging does not look like a first release (even though it is). Looking forward to more!"
-Profane Existance // link!
"With an ever-growing reputation in the northeast for their crushing live show, Oiltanker manage to deliver the same quality on their first EP! The songs on this slab are consistently short, fast, and pissed d-beat with occasional monumental sludge riffs thrown in just enough to get you banging your stupid head, and State of Fear style breakdowns to get you furiously fistpumping! Oiltanker carefully manage enough traditional sensibility for purists, while also pleasantly deviating from the tried-and-true formula and not trying to reinvent punk. Cryptic lyrics will appeal to those who are easily wooed by things on the more artistic side, along with woodcut style art, beautifully designed by their drummer."

"From the cultural wasteland of central CT arises the explosive beer-fueled d-beat insanity of Oiltanker. Incredible dark, sludgy, crusty hardcore to get tinnitus and/or suicidally depressed to."
