Sounds Like: "3 1/2 stars...The brash four-piece uses irresistible snake-charmer
bass lines to glue together Detroit scuzz, hook-y retro punk à la the
Damned and shout-along glam choruses. Bad attitude never felt so good,
dude." – Rolling Stone
"There are glimmers of everything from classic-rock guitar heroics to
metal swagger in the swirl of ripped-jeans grooves on the Vacation's
debut, Band From World War Zero." – SPIN
"Rail-thin front man Ben Tegel is a dervish, prancing amid of shower
of sweat and beer. C'mon, Axl, you wish you wrote 'Destitute
Prostitutes.'" – LA Times
"Sounding like '70s gutter-punks The Damned aligned with the boozy
cockiness of Keith Richards, or Iggy Pop slapping his meaty cock
across Marc Bolan's pasty face, The Vacation peddle a fine line in
sassy, sleaze-sodden, dumb rock n' roll fun…savagely tossing forth
shards of distorted guitar fury over hook-laden beat-pop, constructing
a menagerie of musical wonder that you could dance, fuck or drink to."
– NME
"…energetically scuffed-up tunes with proper hooks…as timeless as a
black leather jacket, there'll always be a place for outfits like The
Vacation." – Kerrang!
