About Me



Sydostran Newspaper - 4 out of 5:
"a necessity in the CD-collection of the fan of dissonant raw rock in the vein of At The Drive-in... 'Cause this is really fucking good... You can't escape, and you don't want to, either"

It's a trap - 7 out of 10:
"...the songs are built on layers of jagged guitars and a heavy, driving rhythm section, but at the same time, always strongly informed by pop conventions. The textures may tend towards the dissonant, but there's always a melody lurking beneath the surface and a huge chorus around the corner. Great stuff... download the band's entire new record "Obsolete music" for free. It doesn't get much better than that."
