The Austin Chronicle
Its crisp, Bubble Studio riff emphasis (lead-off "Hartsfield-Jackson") and fattened swath of late-1980s Red River ("San Jose, 1972") also barfs up a mess of happiness on Thunderbird wine pledge "The Teeners" and B-side Jesus Lizard lumber "Butcher's Block." Buckle up. -- Raoul Hernandez

Terminal Boredom (CHI/NYC)
[G]ood mix of Velvet Underground, Television, Minutemen, and the best of the 1980's SST bands. It’s really a very unique and refreshing sound all their own. It’s catchy, hard, weird, and just really fucking good. This is what the Velvet Underground would have sounded like if Lou Reed were growing up in 1980's Southern California. You get 5 songs that sound nothing like the previous track before it. Very solid release. -- Matt Coppens

AustinSound (TX)
At Ease With Your Haste, is driven by melodically skuzzed out guitar licks and bad-ass bass lines, while Law’s vocals shift between low chanting growls and unrepentant shouts. Despite the group’s decided punk edge and impulse to explode, the songs actually push with a calculated catharsis." -- Doug Freeman

The Austinist (TX)
At Ease With Your Haste is replete with distorted guitar riffs, grubby vocals borrowing verse from Allen Ginsberg and steady, medium-paced beats... It has a jangly grit to it, and the scratchy vocals and unpolished production give the track a great rock and roll sound that's hard not to enjoy. -- William Mills

Norman Transcript (OK) on BeCKY EP
Opening track "Gemini Dancer" started off with kind of a weird bouquet of guitar distortion, but I stuck it out -- and I'm glad I did. I was rewarded with a tight, post-punk tune that conjured visions of the band jumping around the stage as they belted it out.... MTV had an awesome, energetic, New Wave-type feel to it... "Donuts (Make Great Girlfriends)" was a driving, entertaining listen too; it reminded me of a lot of the stuff by the Stooges, as did the last track, "OK," which had me singing "Doin' all right, I'm better than you," before it was through.
-- Adam Scott
