Press Reviews This Album Is A Sovereign Nation "Fuck, damn, these guys are good! By the way, I kind of don't think they are conservatives. Hardcore punk, almost thrashing at times, but they slide off into a weird, out-of-balance slowska/psychotic reggae (rock-unsteady?) on track four. Then back to being very reminiscent of early Husker Du with nihilistic songs about women and jobs and nuclear contamination. I do wish they had printed all the damned lyrics. They're from Cleveland, original home of many other great punk bands. I've never heard, or heard of these guys before--if this is a first album I'm in awe. I'm serious; anyone who loves Husker Du should pick this up, it's comparable to 'Everything Falls Apart'." Flipside, Jan/Feb 1998
