Luke Jenner's shards of ear-splitting guitar cacophony recall the sonic youth of Lou Reed and Tom Verlaine while bassist Matty Safer pushes Vito Roccoforte's bumpy rhythms … la the primitive Talking Heads with reckless abandon. Though there are no melodies to be found in any of the tracks, and the lyrics are screamed rather than sung, this collection is a brief yet captivating assault on the senses that says what is has to in short sharp shocks. If the selections were a nano-second longer they would smack of self-indulgence. ~ Tom Semioli Professional Reviews: Uncut (10/02, p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...needling avant-funk...a band who can appeal to both fashionistas and fanzine-sellers equally." NME (Magazine) (8/3/02, p.32) - 6 out of 10 - "...Sounds like the start of something special."
