"Weirdo rock from a leeds duo taking a cue or two from fellow townsfolk That Fucking Tank but twisting a formula of exuberant brutality with neat proggy-toned sidesteps, this mini album is a headfuck like few others on these pages, impressively subversive." - Rocksound Magazine
"Driving rock two piece all the way from sunny Leeds. Imagine the bass lead dirge of Death From Above, mixed with the Off-Kilter ticklings of say, Shellacs more straight forward moments and you're on the right track. It's impossible not to mention Lightning Bolt as well, but Castrovalva contain something far more potent in their delivery. Less artistic musings, and more balls to the wall, heads against the floor rock, these guys will bring you to your knees, before crumbling your puny venue to the ground" - Holy Smokes
"You can imagine their live shows to be a tangle of noise and righteous poses" - Rock a Rolla Magazine
"Bass pumps through amps set to levels that make the soundman's eyes roll and the drums are given the kind of beating that yer regular punch up victim can't relate to." - PlanB Magazine
"FACERAPE!" - Tom Hudson (pabh)
"Hard rock, modern, inventive, violent and subtle. Technology is deployed with wit and skill so we get sliced as well as battered. The guitars are magnificent, This is fucking brilliant, twelve out of ten, if it's not the rebirth it's certainly the tasty fried afterbirth of hard rock." - unpeeled.net
"The band have an exciting, creative sound, the bassist has particularly energetic stage presence which can really absorb the audience." - leeds-music.com
"BLOODY EK" - Tom, Brew Records
"Leeds two piece who are currently BREWing up a storm with their clinically obese riffs and math-tastic drums, with a single coming out very soon on Brew Records (Kong), Castrovalva will blow your head off." - British Wildlife
"The two piece band kick off with 'Max Rhodes', a driving bass line that is hypnotically alluring, Between feedback and distortion this leaves your brain, eardrums and bowels numb and fuzzy." - Joe Geesin - (getreadytorock)
