'FIRE THE FAITH' REVIEW FROM LOUD, FAST RULES MAG:
MONSTER SQUAD "Fire The Faith"
You know how every few years you run across one of those bands that just grabs you by the throat from first listen? Well, Monster Squad definately fits that bill! This record is powerful, aggressive, fast, heavy & catchy as hell! Similar in style to what bands like the Krum Bums, Cheap Sex, the Warning & Damage Case are doing but with an identity all their own. If I had to pick a few highlights, I'd go with "All These Things", "Dirt", & "Abrasive", but overall this is one motherfucker of an effort! Seriously, I can't recommend this one enough, you need to hear this band for yourself. (www.punkcore.com) JRM
'FIRE THE FAITH' REVIEW FROM NEW YORK WASTE
“Hard core bliss - MONSTER SQUAD sends “Fire the Faith”. The good, the bad and the ugly all on one disc, eleven songs that are out to tear you a new one. Ripping bass lines and throaty vocals seal the deal. Great stuff indeed!”
'FIRE THE FAITH' REVIEW FROM SKRATCH MAGAZINE
The mix makes for some VERY memorable moments, as on the title track (check that second half), “Unmasked” (love the seemingly-off-the-cuff midsection when they break off and someone yells, “Play the fuckin’ thing!”), the total ass-kicker “Dirt” with its zombie-esque background howls and the sick “You Are Not Alone.” These songs in particular, though aggressive-as-hell, are just infused with an indescribable power that—not to get TOO overdramatic—leaves the listener breathless. - Janelle Jones
Oi! lads, How about a nice pint of lager? We got back from our UK tour, 1,5 weeks ago. It was fucking brilliant! We also finished our new recordings, we only have to do the master. To what e-mail address shall we send some new songs? Cheers mate!
I was at work earlier rocking out to my Monster Squad mix cd. Thought I'd check in and say whats up to my crazy big brothas up north. Hope all is well & hope to see your asses down in L.A. soon. Cheers, J. Nasty
hey Dudes! I would love to have that unreleased "Dude Crew" song as profile song for my profile... i would love you even more if you would fullfill that wish... miss ya all & hope to see you in summer in vac! xoxo - B´Jams
Eh boys! How are you guys? Benni is here in Amsterdam for the weekend, he wants to do the obvious tourist-things: space cake, sex museum and so on. He didn't tell me to say hi to you (bastard), but I'll do it anyway... I was thinking that it's actually really sad that you didn't play in our squat, it would have been a fucking cool gig..! xx douwe & the rest.
soo there's a rumor going around that you guys might be playing another show around the area soon.. hope so.. cause your last show at gilman was a m a z i n g!
