Press Reviews from Punk Planet #39, Sept./Oct. 2000"Stillwell play discordant indie with touches of early 90's DC, or mid 90's Chicago. I could picture them opening up for Cap'n Jazz and Kerosene 454. Last Ditch Effort are similar, but a little more upbeat. Their vocals are shouted more and the music is a little more hectic." -Neal Shahfrom Maximum RockNRoll #208, Sept. 2000 "...a split CD with Stillwell (who have a tweeky guitar sound and tinny drums that create an effect much like 33 rpm played at 45) and Last Ditch Effort (whose guitars seem a little out of tune and jangled with coarse and kurt vocal accompaniment. It almost gets to Midwest emo-pep rally but sinks back into a sour mood)..." -Tom Hopkin
