"It's the collision of two worlds, this is a rock that requires a wider audience, today." Drowned in Sound
"Brutal and loud, yet melodic and almost orchestral" The Fly
"Sounds like your dads prog-rock records forced through a hydra head branded mincer, fed to bearded Mogwai fans and regurgitated into a hardcore kid's cap. Sick, yes, but satisfying" Rock Sound
"By the time it's finished with you, you've been assaulted by dense, heavy feedback, angry, growling guitars and enough post-rock to knock out a smack head. Great" Dj mag
"With riffs as big as fillet steaks and pastoral passages straight outta Middlemarch, And the battle is won is a symphonic sprawl of bucolic tinkering and prolonged colossal feedback that has me reaching for my mathematical dictionary to make sense of it all" Plan B
