Press Reviews VELVET CLUB (Anchorage AK zine):The lyrics are introspective and the music is rocking. Download an MP3 and see why this band will be getting a lot of attention as they tour more…                                     CONCRETE ANTHEM (Fairbanks AK zine):The vocal stylings of James “The Fat Guy” Floto, and the awesome Guitar skills of Mike Strickland, backed by the strong power bass style of Chip Hinde and the intensive wailing of Travis’ drum pounding make up an incredible crunch laden grunge sound which the band labels “Pestistildian.” These guys kick ass. They opened for Agent Orange with a performance that can only be labeled as overintenslyfuckingincerdible.                  THE NEW LEMMING (Fairbanks AK zine):Begorra’s members (Begorrans?) are full of teen and post teen angst. Stuck in the precarious age where you can feel what you want, but not yet how to get there. Their ideals are high, but murky visions of a better world.                                                      NPHS (North Pole AK paper):These guys play with the engergy that all bands should.
