Press Reviews (Reviews for LEAN BEAT 6-song debut CD.EP) "Smothering elastic-taught guitars with disco-punk drum skittering, Retisonic make a spiky and forceful racket. It's thrilling stuff, miles removed from Nu-Metal mongery, but-crucially-just as rocking.” Pat Long, 10/05/02 NME - 8 /10 Stars Kerrang Magazine - KKKKK 5/5 ROCK SOUND 8/10 ALTERNATIVE PRESS 8/10
