"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." –Hunter S. Thompson

4.5/5.0 Casey Lynch - ALTERNATIVE PRESS:
The last post-hardcore record you'll ever need: You can keep your MacKaye, Bixler-Zavala and Ragan/Wollard combo. For our money, Jena Berlin are the latest final word in post-post whatsit bands, period. Sure, the Philly quintet owe a debt to the aforementioned dudes, but let's give credit where credit is due: Our old fave post-hardcore bands left the design for anyone to build upon; Jena Berlin just picked up the pieces better than anyone else. There is a mania-inducing abandon underwriting the 11 tracks, all of which seem to leap from an era when bands like Quicksand and Seaweed dominated our cassette players. Singer Jon Loudon breaks the post-post rules and actually sings, and the band display a particularly off-kilter knack for mixing writhing melodies with riotous clamor ("Motion Sickness"), improving upon the heroes of yore exponentionally ("I Swear We're Leaving"). Just try to get this out of our CD player, we dare you.

Hey guys. Hows it goin. Just wanted say that first of all you guys are sick. Im just sitting here listening to quo vadimus and if you guys were attempting to pummel the listener with an array of all kinds of different vivid feelings than you did an excellent job. It never fails. I absolutely love the band. Thank you for making such heart felt music. Peace.
Thank you so much for being friends with Among Criminals!

Just wanted to stop in and say hi, and see how things are going. I'm starting up a zine and I wanted to let people know that if you want any art, photos, articals, interviews or anything else to be in it send it on over. I'm open to everything and keeping my eye open for new stuff.
