Review from Wire Magazine (March 2008):
"This trio from Philadelphia appear to enjoy fomenting a degree of dumb notoriety unconnected with what they actually sound like: citing GG Allin and notorious white supremacists Skrewdriver as influences, and sneeringly calling their debut album Nevermind. In fact they’re a pretty tight combo with elements culled from, variously, The Jesus Lizard, The Birthday Party and The Cramps to be heard on this, their second album. Kicking off with the reverberating guitar twang of “New In Town” and thereafter mixing up trebly guitar riffs with grinding basslines, the group leave plenty of space between their top and low end for dynamic rhythmic lunges and for throwing muscular, blue-stomping (mis)shapes. When they adhere too closely to a predefined template, as on the Birthday Party-style sway of “When My Ship Comes In”, they sound merely derivative, but mostly they jab and feint with a suppleness and agility which belies their contrived crudeness."
