"The Hangouts are a fiercely fun geekbeat teenage puberty rush punk rock band, borne from their influences as teenage skateboard punks reading Maximumrockandroll and Thrasher, dialing up Voivod and The Ramones on their boomboxes and dreaming of relieving the immense boredom of a Reagan-era youth. Throw that youthful experience into the real life experience of having lived in this world for 30-someodd years, being married, raising children, dealing with work bullshit, the endless misunderstanding of being upstanding citizens encased in the bodies of tattoed heathens, and you’ve got for the makings of punk rock with heart. And that’s what the Hangouts make. Punk rock with heart. No trendy ska-punk, emo-punk, ironic detachment…this is the real deal."

"THE FUCKIN’ HANGOUTS BRING ON THE ATTITUDE!!!"
- Punk or Nothing Fanzine (England)

"They've got a great sound that transcends sub-genres: fast and furious enough to whip up the mohawk/hardcore types, yet catchy and high-spirited enough to go over great with pop-punk kids."
- Lord Rutledge - Now Wave

"The Hangouts are a gloriously catchy powerpop quartet from College Station, Texas. Totally brilliant! Letters To Cleo married with The Avengers."
- Richie Wristrokkit - Rock-N-Roll Pirate

"The Hangouts play ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Buzzsaw punk rock but twist it a bit with a singer that that sounds like a junior high school girl with a really bad attitude. She'll either be a superstar or in jail when she hits legal drinking age."
- Dale - Smashin Transistors

"The Hangouts aren’t complex, they’ll just rock your face off good."
-Jonny Taint - Punkrockreview.org

"If someone were to ask me what The Hangouts sound like, I'd tell them old school pre-hardcore Southern California punk rock. And when I mean old school I mean The Germs, The Avengers, Circle Jerks, The Descendents, etc."
-Kelly Minnis - Indie Rock Drummer Extraordinaire

Here's what some fine folks have to say about it:
"It's records like these that stomp the jaded right out of me and take me back to the basement show vitality that made me jump up and down for the first time back in the day. Easily one of the best fucking records of the year."
- Art Ettinger (Razorcake Magazine)

"It's just Day One, but without reservations I proclaim this split my pick-of-the-month for September. As all the best splits do, it gives you quality tunes from a pair of equally good bands. Ideally, a split teams together two groups united by friendship, geography, or obvious musical commonalities. All three of those things link Something Fierce and The Hangouts - two of the finest bands now representing the punk rock hotbed of Texas....And you should see the vinyl! My god! It's absolutely beautiful!"
- Lord Rutledge (Now Wave Magazine)
