Press Reviews "They carry a unique quality that just simply hasn't been found in new acts in a very long time. Fans of anything from The Birthday Party to The Swans to The Sugarcubes to Current 93 will find something that they love about this band." --Cyberina Flux, Starvox "Underneath the heavy atmosphere of their music lies an excitement and freshness not unlike that which propelled bands like Television and Talking Heads into stardom." --David Gasten, Dallasmusic.com "This is dirge rock that drifts into minimal guitar grunge, like Crime and the City Solution jamming on joy Division covers in the back of a new york garage." The big takeover jan 2002. "This dallas quartet combines some of the most effective aspects of the swans and joy division to create a captivating sound." Ron davies of spendidezine.
