Sounds Like: Out of Chicago and out of control, this band knows their shit. Featuring members of other Chicago groups Apocalypse Hoboken and Oblivion, this sound is aggressive and bouncy, enough rock to be real catchy and yet punk as all hell. (David Morgan, askewreviews.com)

A mucha girl on the front cover is a deceptively tranquil prelude to the full on, all six chambers explosion of rock that this disc creates. Punk? Rock? Who's to say? I will tell you that it is a great disc. Frenzied and furiously paced, like Kiss meets Sloppy Seconds. A fun party disc. (impactpress.com)

Fun, party rockinroll shit. Music to bob your head and shake your leg to. Pete from the legendary Chicago punk band Oblivion is on vocals so ya gotta give that shit some props. Long live the Cheerleaders! (Layers Magazine)

Excellent second full-length from this amazing Chicago rock band. I don't own another album where each song could stand on its own as not only a sitcom theme, but also simultaneously driving and catchy enough to where I could sing along without knowing the words. (Dave Hofer, Punk Planet 63)
