Live Reviews:
- w/ IRK, MAUSOLEON, MAGNAPINNA @ Packhorse, Leeds - 25.11.14
"...drummers Steve Myles and Anthony Bedford thrash the music mercilessly and Tom Goodale’s bass bucks, roars and screams over the top. It’s thrilling...who needs melody and subtlety when you can have your brains blasted like this?"

- Yorkshire Riffer w/ EAGLE TWIN @Eiger Studios, Leeds - 26.04.14
"...Their twin drummer and shuddering bass assault possessed of a level of purpose and attack I’d not heard before" - Steve Walsh, Vibrations Mag
- Full Review here: http://www.vibrations.org.uk/live.php?fn_mode=fullnews&fn_id=632
"...With the strong distorted bass grooves and the intricate subtleties of the building layers of rhythm, an easy reference to the likes of Nomeansno meets the Melvins. The vocals are heavily effected and add to a swirling off-the-wall alternative experimental mood that is moreish." - Link 2 Wales

- w/ TRUE WIDOW @ The Brudenell Social Club, Leeds - 07.04.14
- w/ BONG CAULDRON, SUNWOLF @ Eiger Studios, Leeds - 13.12.13
"...The percussive clatter provides the perfect foil for the direct and emphatic bass with the ghostly distorted vocal contributions adding a nightmarish quality. Scary, but at the same time weirdly funky." - Vibrations Mag

- GNAW festival, Newcastle w/ PALEHORSE, TIDE OF IRON - 16.11.13
"...One huge rhythm section they may be, but there’s more to the band than low end bludgeon; far more. Original, dynamic and utterly fascinating, their left field take on noise rock drew huge applause." Rush On Rock

"...When the
distortion kicks in, they evoke a flavour of early Big Business, but
what is most appealing is the fact that this band feels totally unique,
inimitable..." - The Sludgelord
