"Anyone creative and talented enough to have lyrics as varied and interesting, bizarre homemade beats, fairly unique rap styles, drumming and rapping simultaneously, and the twisted resolve to make you won stupid props, as Log Hog do, are not to be underestimated. These cats are here to stay."
Jeremy Kaufman
Music Editor, THE OLYWA
"Log Hog has quickly made itself my new favorite local band."
-Stephanie Brooks, the cooper point journal
"...[where]could this outrageous hip-hop collective from Ellensburg have aquired their manic energy from? Their funky beats, intelligent samples and fine vocal interplay prove that agriculture doesn't necessarily mean lack of culture."
-The Rocket,#311, Seattle, WA
"After the record companies descended upon that mythical emerald city called Seattle in their quest to exploit and castrate anything worth while in the American Empire, they left the town and it's culture for dead. As a result, people today might miss or ignore the flowers that popped up along side the wreckage left behind by the marauding corporate Huns. One such flower blooming in Seattle is Log Hog. More than just another band from the Northwest, Log Hog is a collective group of post-modern constructivist artists who piece together the rubble of the over-hyped, over-sold and over-played music which has been destroyed by the media. Beat Soup represents a marriage of hip hop, trip hop, grunge, DJ, spoken word, heavy metal, pre-punk, punk, post-punk, neo-punk, and any other pop style to come down the pike in recent years, and the union forms a uniquely original, and interesting sound which holds the listener through all 25 tracks on the disk. It's almost like going to a museum of modern music for 73 minutes and 16 seconds. From the first tune 'Has To Be Loud' to what could be their defining song 'NONSTOPHEAVYMETALPUNKROCKHIPHOP,' there is enough variety to hold even the shortest attention span captive for the whole trip - a trip well worth the price of admission."
-Factsheet 5 - #64, San Francisco, CA. Fall 1998
"A freak-rap crew from rural Washington, Log Hog harvest a unique sound that ranges from upbeat and extremely catchy to experimental and completely bugged. Live upright bass, free-jazz horns and drums join the more traditional samples and beats. Rhymes are a little spastic but pretty original."
-Listen.com reviews by staff hip hop writer Brolin Winning.
"Non ironic punk rap rawness. It's a collective , like Wu-Tang, but on a 4 track made by art school dropouts level. Some of them can really do the deep rap voice, with flat strange beats and funny samples and videogame references (lyrical ones and musical ones)."
-in Rocktober (print version) #29 Chicago, Il. (www.rocktober.com)
I have no idea who these people are. But they are some of the dopest MC's around. Think BEP without the political correctness. Very Daft Punk. There are 21 tracks with styles from disco to gangster rap, for only $9.99? Shoot, check these rhymes out and pump up the party!
Bite Me! - Los Angeles, CA. Summer 2001, #22
"Some above average hip hop from these Washington kids. There were a lot of surprises here, most notably the mention of Darby Crash and the "Germs Burn" in one song and another that uses the Association's "Cherish" as its musical base. Some pretty impressive shit."
