"Opening with the anthemic “…And Now You’re Old Enough, I Think That You Should Know”, Sugar Army’s Where Do You Hide Your Toys EP is the sonic eclecticism of dance rock done right for once. The label doesn’t do their sound justice though – the West Australian four piece are at home channeling anything from the Cure and QOTSA to Muse, with vocalist Patrick Mclaughlin’s distinctive pipes cutting over gritty riffs and leading unfailingly into shout-along choruses almost guaranteed to make Sugar Army a killer live act. “Jigsaw” is discordant and layered with jangly guitars and falsetto while “Maybe The Boy Who Cried Wolf Was Just Paranoid” is the sleeper, with a dirty driving rhythm, weird choral overdubs and brilliant percussion. The other half of the album, please – and soon."
Rolling Stone (May 2008)
"Four on the floor dance rhythms stutter in math rock explosions while the dueling guitars carve slices out of concrete and the boys scream and sing and scream over the top. If you think you liked Cut Copy, the Midnight Juggernauts or any of those other unfortunate Australian hipster bands, get ready to have your teeth knocked out."
