Press Reviews CD REVIEWS SCAREDYCAT are a genius of a band, with fast, pacemaker-blowing hardcore punk parts, stop and start time changes and some funny vocals approaching 80's-metal-style wails at times. Total buffoonery and must be heard to be believed!! What a solid CD this is... find now! -SHORT, FAST & LOUD #10 "I'm fearful yet attracted to Scaredycat because I get the feeling they've got a good sense of humor like Spazz did, but I'm not a hundred percent sure where it ends. The first song. "Flag Football," melts Iron Maiden with Charles Bronson: rippin' metal licks and the vocalist shows no fear of slipping into falsettos. But the other four tracks are straight anvils-to-the-nads, three hooks in three seconds thrash that are seemless and sound angry but have titles like "Don't Stub Your Toe On The Little Guy." Good stuff.-RAZORCAKE, Feb. 2003 "Fast, sarcastic thrash" - MRR "You read it right kids: 17 songs but clocking in at only a bit over 16 minutes. This is the kind of hardcore-era rock that is somewhat missing in this age of nu-metal bombastics and the waning idea of hair bands from the 80's, which is making a strange comeback. Nope, SCAREDYCAT is three guys playing loud and fast hardcore for about a minute or so, the type of early DRI and inception of grindcore which pumps out quick chords and nuttiness...Scaredycat is fine and dandy!" - SHREDDING PAPER #13 "Goofy, funny hardcore from a group of very proficient musicians. This is a pretty fun disc and the music is tight!" - RAZORCAKE #8 LIVE "While they're not a San Diego band, I found Venice Beach locals Scaredycat at the same show as Life Crisis (which also featured great sets by Mother Russia and Skate or Die), and this is some seriously good shit! More hardcore from these guys, and its just fun as fuckin hell. SCAREDYCAT has a distinct edge with their ADD-inspired concise songs, not to mention drummer/vocalist John Brown's ridiculous hair metal falsetto. Seriously, if you dont love this shit, you're lacking a sense of humor.” – Destroy All Monthly Magazine/March 2003 "In form, taking the better parts of lenghtier compositions and distilling them down to consise and more potent forms of themselves this band's material is aimed to deliver all the excitement in half the time." - Shadowband Zine/Shadowworld.com "The opener, Scaredycat, charged through their set with an unwavering desire to wring every last bit of Hardcore energy out of each second of each of their compact tunes. They have a slightly concealed sense of humor which in the end was revealed in all of its glory by them ending the set, then not ending the set, then saying the set was over then plugging in to play a 30 second Journey tune, obviously in tribute." Dave Moore, South Bay Impresario
