Reviews
"These guys waste no time opening up the throttle: "Everything is Permitted" and "Kitty, Queen of Destiny" deliver the rushing riffs and dueling axe work the metal hounds crave... "The End Is Nigh" proves to be the high point of the EP, introducing a bashing, low-slung blues melody a la TESLA before shifting into a punked-up, rapid-fire tempo with a commanding bassline. It may not be a familiar name now, but a couple more discs like this one will surely make HAY PERRO a respected moniker in metal circles." - Peacedogman.com, December 2008
"As starting track "Rats in Red Leather" progresses, Hay Perro begins to triumph and so does the listener. A feeling comes over you as if you could kick someone's ass if you listened to this music long enough. the aesthetic of "Summer of Destruction" is exactly as the title track suggests, a summertime listen that embarks upon darker and darker territory from the urgency of "Kitty, Queen of Destiny," to the ominous "The End is Nigh." - The Deli Magazine, July 2009
"One part 70s hard rock, one part 80s noise rock and a dash of bitters. For those who wondered what it might sound like if the Jesus Lizard did a Blue Oyster Cult tribute show. I'll give you a hint: It's pretty cool." - Aiding & Abetting, November 2008
"Combining the dark forces of metal, the thunder of rock and the furious pace of the mighty jackalope a newer stronger less leaden band has been thrust forth thusly...You can certainly hear the Maiden influence as well as Kiss and perhaps a little Zeke … but what do I know? Comparisons aside Hay Perro has a fresh rock sound and from what I can gather would likely be quite formidable in front of you on a stage, preferably somewhere near to where you are." - Upstarter, October 2008
