Vice Magazine - 8.5 out of 10
Hours of practice, a dedication to songwriting, and a sizeable budget. These are all things that are less important to a good record than having a cool older brother - someone to break your Collective Soul tapes over your stupid head, as the older brothers of the Freshkills clearly did, and say "Hey you stupid idiot, here is Drive Like Jehu, Jesus Lizard, and Nation of Ulysses. Now quit being such a herb".

Blunt Magazine (Australia)- 8 out of 10
A Drive Like Jehu for a generation that never experienced one, New York’s Freshkills dot their sound with traces of pop punk, noise, post-hardcore, goth and gutter rock. From New York, they have been compared to The Liars, but to me they sound like they’d listen to more Interpol and Birthday Party. With a decent ear for melody, good grooves, and an ingrained knowledge of rock, they offer the perfect amount of variety without losing focus. Some might accuse them of all-too-conveniently popping up with just the right sound at just the right time, but if more little eyeliner kids opened their minds to bands like Freshkills instead of whatever some magazine or webzine or online banner advertisement is promoting, the world just might be a better place.

Organ Magazine - UK - Album of the week
Creeps And Lovers - Like falling upstairs and not spilling a thing, a rather fine New York thing that’s all very current and they sound like they may have a plot to blow up the Effel Tower along with that NY bite and that Fugazi edge to their Franz new wave. We could talk of angular new wave and circular buzz saws and, yes, if Franz were to be a dark evil band that you could love rather than the irritation that you just want to swat. The Departure for frantic wired up Fall fans, TV on The Radio for Girls Against Boys fans, hey now they sound like Talking Heads beating the crap out of Liars - you only get to that when you really let it unfold though. Oh yes, it would be an easy thing to mistakenly dismiss them as just another post Strokes Television flavoured NY band. Hell, theyre going to get sick of people saying they sound like this meets that hey, they sound like Drive Like Jehu for Wires fans blah blah blah they have an edge. Theyre good, like falling upstairs and not spilling a thing

Creeps and Lovers…I didn’t expect this, really I didn’t. the Freshkills have released their debut long player and it slams the competition into the ground! Where have they been all this time? Oh, my mistake, they’ve been touring, recording, playing locally. My mistake. I do remember listening to their self-titled EP which didn’t show the prom-ise n of the band as Creeps and Lovers does. It’s filled with angst, it’s brimming with tur-moil and anger while keeping hold of a hip swaggering shake. How do I know all this?I went to their website and caught a live performance. This Brooklyn Quintet is the shit.

New York Night Train
"Freshkills bring us five thick slabs of post-hardcore post-punk that sit somewhere between Jehu and Damaged with new wavy pop choruses and dance grooves injected into their centers. Dark jaded yet romantic decay kind of stuff that tends to escape from NYC every now and then....Dirty and shiny." - full review at New York Night Train
