Reviews
"4,5/5 - It is very hard for me not to over-praise this band's debut." DV (Icelandic Daily Newspaper) - Andri Freyr Viðarsson

"4,5/5 - Benny Crespo's Gang's debut is without doubt one of the better albums of this year and a must-have for rock-enthusiasts." Ísafold (Icelandic Magazine) - Björn Stefánsson

"As far as i'm concerned, the race for the Icelandic Album of the Year was over the day Benny Crespo's Gang ended a three-year recording process and released their self-titled debut." Grapevine (Reykjavík's English Language Magazine) - Sveinn Birkir Björnsson

"96% - The album exceeded my expectations and is not about to leave the CD-player any time soon. Clearly one of the better albums of this year!" Monitor (Icelandic Magazine) - Hildur Maral Hamíðsdóttir

"Mixing searing rock with eerie Portishead palpable lulls under tender female vocalisations, they raised the bar to yet another level and sent a note of promise to their future international careers." - Live review by Matthew Bennet - Clashmusic

"[...] While Benny Crespo's Gang demonstrated real potential beyond the island's scene. Combining urgent synths and driving, impassioned rock, their twin boy-girl vocalists saw them swap between moments both Biffy Clyro and Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) would be proud of." - Live review - NME
