"Like it's 1977 all over again...singers Linda Bean and Tim Gillis share the sneering fuck you vocals, while the band reinvigorate the corpse of a rock and roll mutilated and killed by MTV..." – Pop Culture Press

"Who says punk is dead? If it is, somebody forgot to tell Frigate, whose blistering 11-song Blow Me Down blows by like the Class of '77 in 29 minutes and change. When singer Linda Bean shouts out "1-2-3-4!" and slams into another jackhammer, rhythm-driven song about "no self control," it tells you all you need to know about where Frigate's heart lies – sandwiched somewhere between Social Distortion's rowdy populism and X's bleary boy-girl swagger" –Boston Globe

"...inspired by New York's punk pioneers of the late '70's, Frigate combines the melodic elements of groups like the Ramones and Blondie with straight-up rock crunch." – Rockpile

"...If the Buzzcocks-meets-Blondie outfit's explosive set at CMJ Music Marathon is any indication, Bean's drum kit might not live through the show." – Boston Globe Calendar

"Inspired, raggedy pop-punk that's immediately invigorating...A cool male/female vocal interplay earns bonus X points for these Beantown punkers firmly upholding their fine city's punk legacy." – Aquarian Weekly

"Yeah, this is rock'n'roll, and it's full of passion and life. What more do you want?" – Splendid
