"The great Jarvis Cocker once said, This isnt chocolate boxes and roses its dirtier than that. He may as well had this weeks installment of the pill in mind when he first wrote that, as this week Great Scott gets a wee bit grimier as we welcome the Vershok to our alcohol-drenched adobe of love. The Boston-based four-piece began in earnest with a sound echoing Jawbox and early Queens of the Stone Age. But as the sound evolved over a two year process, the post-hardcore influences gave way to a tidal wave of indie and punk ethos, fused together as the illegitimate child conceived from a three-way between the MC5, Stooges and Mars Volta. Known for a blitzkrieg of a live show, this fucker even has Axls eyes"-thepillboston.com-March 2006

Vershok and awe Dont mess with a band that sings Rape This Town
"The Vershoks new record, The Devil Said, hits like a shot glass breaking on the bar, then orders another round. Its muscular and sinister, with a wry sense of humor buried just under the hypnotic and sexy guitar heroics. To paraphrase their song Rape This Town, the band is subtle like an ax between the eyes. -Vershok and awe Dont mess with a band that sings Rape This Town -luke o'neil / metro boston-June 30, 2006

"With guitars burned alive by whiskey, vocals charred by nuclear moonlight and a rhythm section grinded along the concrete of an abandoned playground, the Vershok may in fact be the kings of the modern age rock n roll."- thepillboston.com-June 2006
