Reviews

'exactly what the music world has been crying out for, fast, fresh, ingenious, full on astonishing punk/rock' Room 13

'anguished and jet-propelled art-punk . . .classic SST, Dischord, Alternative Tentacles bands. Everything is delivered with fire and passion and the precision of Shellac / Mclusky post-hardcore sounds - primitive yet intelligent ' Artrocker magazine

"as we get to go eyeball to eyeball with a monstrous noise making machine that has gone straight to the top of our "yes, but have you heard..." list. A three piece playing gripping, busy but direct rock with shades of At the drive-in, they have so much energy that even their delicate moments occur at breakneck speed, while (in between coaxing fascinating sounds from his guitar with a drumstick) lead yelper Michael Destouches leaps about with such force he looks like he's going to turn inside out. They are the primordial soup from which good live bands come forth. Superb in every way. martin cordiner” The fly - september 2009

"this paris three-piece have already taken in the city and the great escape festivals by storm with their alternative disco house."

"this three-piece from paris have already won over an army of fans with an appearance at this year's artrocker stage at the great escape festival with their alternative, progressive indie" Artrocker magazine - dec 2008

'exceptionally inventive and demands your attention' Unreality TV

'Are something great in the making – we love it when we are contacted by young bands that have loads of influences and try and cram as many of those influences into making a rock beast .Theres post hardcore , punk funk, a tiny bit of electronic wibbling I'm putting my oar out and saying these guys are like At the Drive in – who were one of the best bands of the last 20 years' Barfly Camden (london)

'this is one young group that should be gathering fans with lightening speed' Adequacy.net

'Hectic and frenetic blitz of jittery wall of sound guitars, off kilter melodies and unstoppable dancefloor beats with a wild stage show worthy of Sonic Youth from these parisian garage/indie/punk noiseniks.' Panic magazine

'an uncompromising maelstrom of punk fury' Is This Music?

'teeters on the borders of punk, rock, and post-rock explosiveness - a fission of chords and sub-static distortions . . . it works!' Music-Dash

'filled with originality, energy, and entertainment . . . with great vocals, intense drums, and jagged guitars the track moves through testing dance beats . . . so refreshing from an industry polluted with generic mass produced indie' Altsounds.com

'a new exciting band loaded with raw, primitive talent . . . will have your head spinnning off your shoulders' Punk Globe

'dirty and raw, spittin out the punk attitude . . . a frenzy of fast and furious, incessant music with quirky, infectious guitar riffs' Music Fanbiz

'the first truly great single of the year' Devil has the Best Tuna

'One of the most refreshing pieces of new music I've discovered so far this year ' Music Liberation
