Issue #17 of Annoyance Fanzine: 7" " Ska-core that favors both sides of the coin, with a full horn sound, yet fast and punk enough to satisfy anyone. Let me see, have a fight between less than jake and the scofflaws and add a scuffle with Propagandhi. Fine stuff." Issue #1 of The Mad Moose: 7" "4 songs, with two of their best songs from the demo, and two songs not found on the demo, which are both very good. You can buy this at a show or from their homepage, but definately buy it somewhere. Its worth even more than the $3 charged for it." Jersey Beat zine, Issue #62, Spring/Summer 1998 and written by by Chuck X Wharton "Also note about this band from Northern New Jersey that their theme song, Taxicab Samurais, part of their seven-inch vinyl release, appear on a national compilation CD called Hello, My Name Is....
