"With the exception of Jaguar Love there aren't a lot of bands out there who are currently making no-excuses, kick-your-head-in, hardcore rock with any semblance of intelligence. Just when you thought all hope was lost along comes Austin, TX four-piece We'll Go Machete and their self-titled EP." - T.O. Snob, snobsmusic.net

"When you think of the Austin TX sound, you probably don't think of early 90's groups like Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, or Quicksand but that is exactly the type of style you get with We'll Go Machete. The quartets pulsating and pounding drive comes at you full steam in each of the EP's six tracks and never lets up its assault." - Sam DaMatta, The Fire Note

"It's all quite well done, and there really is an authentic "early-90's" type of sound to the aesthetic of the songwriting that should absolutely hit the spot for longtime fans of the aforementioned bands/labels searching for new sources of those classic sounds. I'll definitely be looking forward to hearing more from these cats..." - aversionline.com

"Named after a Lester Bangs line, Austin's We'll Go Machete comes out swinging in all directions on its self-titled six-song introduction, produced by the Bubble's Jason Buntz. Jagged and unrelenting, Machete launches post-hardcore tantrums in an early Dischord Records vein on opener "Red Maddens the Bull," while "The Old Beast Will Crumble" teeters toward sludge metal. It's a promise and a threat." - The Austin Chronicle

"this foursome out of austin,tx warm the cockles of my heart" - ipecac, shiny grey monotone

"Solid, intelligent, hard-hitting throwback rock... Overall, the album is very good. For hard rocky post-hardcore, it’s one of the better albums I’ve come across this year so far." no. 2 of Top 10 Albums of June '09, CircaLaMusica

"We'll Go Machete have unleashed a very promising self-titled debut EP. It's hard to find bands doing this sound, but it's even harder to find ones doing a good impression of it." - punknews.org

"We’ll Go Machete is a classic example of how a band can pay homage to its influences while still sounding fresh enough to warrant repeated playbacks." - Marc Perlman, austinsound.net

"Listening to this record is like getting hooked by a passing speedboat. There you were, contemplating infinity on the shore, and then you were uprooted and dragged pell-mell screaming through the water, at unsafe speeds in a spinning blur of sun and wake. And a good time is had by all." - thedelimagazine.com
