Second to the Last Frontier
-----
"...a healthy dose of shimmering, experimental indie rock that sometimes exudes a maniacal, pounding zest."
-Matt Kiser, CMJ.com

"...spastic Isaac Brock-meets-Avey Tare shouts and atmospheric guitars over dual tribal drums."
- Marc Hogan, Pitchfork

"Second To The Last Frontier is an oddball buzz of genre escaping, frenetic rock and roll vision."
- Ben Micallef, Yahoo Music

"If you're not paying close attention, you're liable to miss some happy accident that is simultaneously too small to notice casually and too perfect to ignore."
- Daniel Rivera, Slant Magazine

"Modest Mouse may have built the template, but the chaos and percussive power here is more akin to an early And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. Promising stuff."
- Kirk Miller, Metromix.com

"Originally from Maple Valley in south King County, this Seattle band shares some musical and lyrical similarities with another Northwest band from the outlying town of Issaquah, but while Modest Mouse through the years have toned down the small-town alienation that seethed through their earlier records, you’ll find it in abundance on Feral Children’s excellent debut album. Dark, unsettling indie-rock that occasionally explodes in a murderous rage, Second to the Last Frontier is one of the more memorable Northwest albums of 2007."
-Don Yates (Music Director at KEXP)
"This is a fascinating, beautifully narrated work that will undoubtedly be heralded as one of 2007's best"
-Seattle Weekly
"Perfect, absolutely perfect."(4-1/2 stars)
-Katie Sauro - Seattle Sound Magazine
"The future is now for the Feral Children"
-John Richards - KEXP and Seattle Sound Magazine
"With the help of producer Scott Colburn (Animal Collective, Arcade Fire), the band has crafted a standout full-length debut of experimental, turbid, slightly-unhinged indie rock with Second to the Last Frontier. An interesting tension pervades this album, between whimsical and menacing, primal and complex, brambly and celestial. It’s a debut worth noticing."
-Mike Baehr - Performer Magazine

"Feral Children are the next Modest Mouse..."

"Why aren’t there more bands like Feral Children in Seattle? ...There is an almost murderous quality percolating under the band’s surface, as if each song is a shotgun aimed at the next sleazy land developer looking to cash in..."
- BRIAN J. BARR - THE SEATTLE WEEKLY

"The vast majority that attempts to ride the retro coattails inevitably is exposed. Yet, Feral Children, for all of their quasi-British Invasion glory, are
not faking it."
- Bonwell Parker - Performer Magazine

"But if their songs are gloomy and cold, the live shows they've been playing for just over a year are burning and manic.
