Press Reviews "Bastinado is like of one of those Celtic design coloring books--you know, the ones they make for adults, with opaque paper so you can hang your creation in the window like stained glass? It's because each of their songs starts out with a quiet or catchy line--from bass, drums, or guitar--and then forms itself into an intricate structure, with points and curves and wavy tentacles. This is a very loud Celtic design, by the way, not one of those quiet, wussy, shined-to-perfection ones. It's the kind that belongs on coats-of-arms in blood-bathed battles. And for all their ear-blasting subtleties, Bastinado hardly misses a note."-- the Portland Mercury, 2/22/01
