Sounds Like"I truly believe that Cicadas are aliens. No human can make music that screwed up, that frantic and that amazing, especially not musicians from Bellingham. They are, in my estimation, one of, if not THE, best local band I have ever seen."

-Brent Cole


[Cicadas] play the most blaring and technically impressive hardcore and metal in town mixed with sludgy classic rock breakdowns and ambient interludes. Each song is peppered with jarring time and tempo changes, never letting a new listener get fully accustomed before the rug is pulled out from under them.

-Jeff Kirby, What's Up! Magazine July, 2005


"In the instrumental explosion that is their live show, the palpable wall of The sound Cicadas produces is stranger, louder and more compelling than any three guys on a stage have any right to be...'Consult the Bones, Disgusting Skulls' is a neatly inverted roadmap to the band’s style and growth, sticking to the instrumental madness/genius they’re known for."

Ian Chant, What's Up! Magazine September 2006


"Dude, you guys totally have me and Mark jerking off all over your record, doesn't that mean anything?"
