PRESS
“This is maniacal music, the kind that translates onto its listener and turns them into a more rabid individual. Watch out.” THIS IS FAKE DIY
“musically somewhere between bleach-era nirvana, mclusky, jesus lizard and even that incendiary first idlewild demo in their teens, long before they started sounding like rem. this a band listening to the same bands as metz have been listening to, but living a lot closer to home.’ a must.” ROUGH TRADE
“A succinct, vicious little slab of noise-pop genius that expertly blends texture, dissonance, and squealing, searing feedback with tight dynamism and an infectious hook; think ‘Song 2’ by Blur if they’d been paying homage to noise-rock, rather than parodying grunge.” DROWNED IN SOUND
“Goddamn this is ace.” THE QUIETUS
