Sounds Like:
Sandman Magazine“A truly anthemic vortex of sound, Obsessive Compulsive grab you by the ear and twist.â€
Subba-Cultcha.com“Like a furiously delivered version of Alice In Chains ‘Facelift’ debut via the unrelenting slabs of metal core created by Walls Of Jericho, one’s to watch!â€
Screaming Tarts Zine“Hard hitting riffs and drums, as Kelii’s gritty vocals pretty much grab you by the balls and make you pay attentionâ€
No More Room In Hell“Catchy tunes with a powerful female vocalist taking you on a roller coaster of highs and lows in the space of six expertly crafted songs. Obsessive Compulsive are stunning. A band this good should be on a major label. End of story!â€
Kaleidoscope Magazine“Powerful raw grungey rock with Courtney Love style vocals from the days when she really rawked! There are some bloody great guitar riffs going on too, and what this all adds up to is a really dynamic package that springs surprises all over the place, and makes you hit the repeat button quite easily! More please!â€
Organ MagazineGirl fronted tough dark-edged powerful colourful metal. Obsessive Compulsive are good, they’re passionate, they have attitude and they have a lot of class and they get out there and do it rather than sitting on their arses thinking the world owes them a break.
The Dukester“Sounds like Hole going metal. Chances are these will do better than Courtney will for a very long time, and not undeservingly so.â€
Sleazegrinder (USA)“Impressively tormented, pissed-off goth-metal vocals (care of tough-as-nails rocker chick Kelii) and a driving industro-metallic guitar sound that brings to mind a grunge-y Marilyn Manson.â€
Glitzine“Tight and in your face, Obsessive Compulsive would fit right in on the second stage of Ozzfest as well as tear it up on a bill such as The Beautiful Creatures and Killingbirdâ€
