"Confident and assertive without hitting the point of cockiness, every second of Ship Of Fools asserts that while we are no longer in the fine company of acts such as the New Bomb Turks or Gaza Strippers, the world of punk rock’n’roll is alive again. American Speedway have revived the corpse." - Keith Carman, EXCLAIM!
"AMERICAN SPEEDWAY sounds almost legitimately Southern it could thus be said they are the North’s answer to NASHVILLE PUSSY." Ray Van Horn, Jr., AMP MAGAZINE
"All hail greasy, loud, riff-heavy rock!" - Greg Prato, ALL MUSIC GUIDE
"Straight out of Hostile City, USA (aka Philadelphia) American Speedway pound, bash and puke through marriage - ruining asshole- anthems like Drink' And Drivin' and No Control like the Supersuckers on their first day back from a 90 day stint in the county jail." - sleazegrinder, CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE
“They play hi-powered, hi-energy rock’n’roll and I had a smile on my face for the full 30 minute set.” – Jon Landman, The Syndicate
"(Ship of Fools) Whaddya think this is anyway, some kinda hoity-toity art fag fiesta?" - Jeffrey Morgan, Detroit Metro Times
"Ten songs, 30 minutes, no bullshit. Someone call Lemmy, we just found the opening act for Motorhead’s next tour." - James Eldred, ESDMusic.com
"You know that saying 'Rock out with your cock out.' I feel like that, except I want to bend one of my hotties over the stage and screw her while headbanging to American Speedway." - Gil Russell, Dallas Metro
"Ship of Fools is the epitome of rock ‘n’ roll." - Meaghan Allen, underthegunreview.net
"Philadelphia based American Speedway may be one of the best new bands to come to traditional rock ‘n roll in quite awhile." - Chris Dahlberg, cosmosgaming.com
“This is the type of thing that you want coming out of your car stereo as you trundle down the road with top down this summer.” – Blog Critics Magazine
“Their music is as cool and ferocious as Motorhead. Guitars blaze like Electric Frankenstein, but with more attitude.” – lifeinabungalo.com
"The band plays riff-heavy, pissed off rock ‘n’ roll, the kind of stuff they call punk these days simply because no one remembers how bands like the MC5 plugged in and brought the house down with a few chords and a tender riot." - Mitch Michaels, 411mania.com
"Singer Michael Thursby Speedway has the same style of hard edged course vocals as Lemmy." - Rob Rockitt, hardrockhideout.com
"The ten
track, thirty minute album breaks through the speakers with a strong power chord before expanding to a old school rock and roll track that would fit very nicely within a game of Rock Band." - Bobby Gorman, thepunksite.com
"if you are a hard-charging, balls to the wall, pissed-off, choppy-seas-sailing fan of absolute punk; check out American Speedway, the new paradigm for a lost art." - Jesse Schmitt, associatedcontent.com
"A lot of bands talk about playing genuine rock, but it doesn't take long to tell who is genuine and who is full of hot air." - Metal Mark, Heavy Metal Time Machine
"These guys aren’t out to change the world. They just want to have a good time playing the music they love to hear. And it shows on “Ship Of Fools” even though live is where these guys truly shine." - punkrocktheory.com
“The band — who count MC5, AC/DC and The Supersuckers
among their influences — are known for their high-octane
performances.” – Moya Dillon, Chartattack
"American Speedway literally kick out the jams with style, a style that thankfully, will never go stale." - musicemissions.com
