Press Reviews Shredding Paper writes ""APW reminds me alot of MOTO, certainly a compliment. Medium fidelity garage pop with some strong tunes like We're Comin' Inside and Hero for a Friend and more. Energetic unpretentious fun." AND "Plenty of '60s and '70s punk influence, this has its share of strong tunes, like "20-0-0" and "Bad at Drinking." The Big Takeover (Joe Strummer issue) writes "a fairly enjoyably stew of British-inflected new wavey pop a la Guided by Voices..."NYRock.com writes "a mixture of punk and power pop that brings back memories of the Buzzcocks..."
