“Take Control” ranked number 1 indie release of 2008 by Greg Kot
Chicago Sun-Times
“Take Control” is a melodic, self-assured and thoroughly irresistible punk gem." -Jim DeRogatis
Alternative Press "...the four-piece play some of the most addictive, balls-to-whatever-wall-you've- got punk around." -Tim Karan
Razorcake 'Straight ahead punk rock from this Chicago four piece: great melodies, tight chops, and thoughtful songwriting." –Sean Koepenick
Punknews.org "This band epitomizes the golden trifecta of talent, passion, and relentlessness, and it should carry them right off lake Michigan into the homes of people that love good punk rock all across the country. "
-Anchors
Punk Planet "This is so rad... sing-along punk that you just can't pass up."
Chicago Innerview: "...a highly volatile mixture of raw aggression, anger, passion and love for the music." -Bart Niedzialkowski
Radio One Chicago '...amongst the most exciting punk bands that have ever thrown music out of my speakers... the band lives and breathes honesty and sincerity through their songs, and nowhere is it more apparent than when the band is playing live."
–Mike Gibson
Screaming Bloody Mess "... a refreshing take on straight-forward, inspiring punk-rock ... This stuff is played well, tight, dripping with earnest, and even a little disgust." -Christopher Kelaart
No 'post' this or that, no pretense, nothing arty, no sappy emo, no indie-rock, no hybrid anything. It's an honest formula: music that rocks + punk aggressiveness.
