What people are saying ...... Big Cheese magazine:
These Midlands punks have fused 80s US hardcore influences with its UK counterpart to make a powerful noise. Think Black Flag jamming with GBH and the Bronx. From the opening salvo of 'Size Zero' to the Fugazi-esque 'Coffee Grinds' there is not a duff track. A strong contender for punk album of 2009.
Mass Movement magazine:
I’ve been playing this damn record for the last two hours, and apart from trying to shift the stupid grin plastered all over my face, the only things I can think of whilst listening to Section 13 are Dag Nasty, Snuff and the Summer of 1987, which pretty much makes this record a slice of punk rock perfection as far as I’m concerned. Nothing else to say is there? Bloody fantastic…
Punktastic.com:
This CD may just take the award for music that you could not date if you tried. I am not talking taking it out to dinner – I mean this band are utterly timeless. I always try to listen to review CDs before reading the press release, so as not to get too many preconceptions clouding the review. I knew this was a Boss Tuneage records release, so assumed it was one of their growing collection of re-released 80s gems. It absolutely isn’t. It’s straight up 80s angular hardcore/post-hardcore straight out of Leamington Spa. Read more .....

At least there are a few more punters in the building when Section 13 (from Leamington Spa) get going and belt out 20minutes of fast ‘n tuneful hardcore that recalls elements of Dag Nasty, and a decent cover of Minor Threat’s “In My Eyes” kinda rams home the point… do ya fuckin’ get it??!!

Nahh I thought they were really good. Didn't have enough energy though but you can't expect that much from a near pensioner. And yeah man thats the dream. Is the doghouse gig 18+ 'Cos the guys I was with last night were like 17 so them coming might be a problem.
