"The band excels at the precise/tight musicianship...Quickening enrich their soft/loud-dynamics and muscular guitar parts with a healthy dose of melodicism and catchy vocals" -Guy Peters reviews-Belgium

"The self-produced 11-track disc revisits four solid cuts from Ones and Zeroes, polishing the big choruses until they're comparable to those of most big indie bands. And when the new track "Collision Course" takes flight, the band sounds like Vagrant Records material." -Cleveland Scene Magazine

"Another punk band, but they don't follow the written formula that most punk-rockers seem to know by heart. Their recipe is something new, something good, we need a change--keep it up guys! " -Rift Rock
Record Label: We don't have a deal.
