"With a steady stream of fantastic lo-fi experimental pop and avant garde recordings, SHDWPLY has been a go to label over the past year or two. It's newest release is a bit of a change-up for the label, harnessing power from some of the early 90s' greatest forces. Philly's The G, just dropped their first full length dubbed Hold My Gold via SHDWPLY. Packed with dirty rock and roll, this is one of the more easily accessible releases the label has produced. No bells and whistles here, just straight up raunchy riffs and melodies that a make you want to chug some Jim Beam and ride Gravedigger into the night. All monster truck comparisons aside, this Philly foursome would not be out of place if they were released on Merge back in 1992. With heavy guitars reminiscent of Carolina's early 90s output, think Superchunk or Polvo but maybe a whole lot drunker. Filtered through more modern fuzzes of punk and pop, the result is a sound that's catchy as hell. While the rock is fantastically sloppy at times, tunes like "Behold a Pale Horse" are full of heart and help to round out the record's sound. This thirteen track LP comes highly recommended, and was limited to only 200 pressings. With a gritty silk-screened sleeve that's pictured above, I'd suggest getting picking it up." -bmoremusic.net .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........................

"Philly dudes and lady that do that mid 90's sloppy loud indie rock, chapel hill, mid western, Superchunk, Unwound, Grifters, thing so damn well... that you're instantly teleported... wasted stumbling around the Khyber trying to hit on that one amazingly hot girl with the glasses, but of course you fail cause you can't talk to anyone cause you will never get your shit together and you end up listening to a band, hating your life, ending your night puking in the filthy bathroom and promising you'll never do this again." -Bethlehem above ground zine
