Press Reviews Two italian bands on one disc.HAPPY NOISE sound a little like DILLINGER 4 on first listen, which is no bad thing. Also very southern California(Y' know- older Epitaph, newer Revelation) they sing in English and Italian. MINNIE'S sing solely in Italian and sound more skateboard video if you know what i mean. Both bands play well and sound good, both have good production and lots of energy... (Andy Darling) from MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL AUGUST 2001 #219
