“with songs like chains of hooks that they’ve connected by sheer force of will. . . it’s extremely good.” – Ben Ratliff, The New York Times
“while the title of ‘Broken Bone’– a tightly-clenched standout from their ultra-promising full-length debut, New Brigade– is fitting, the energy at play here is oddly connective. It feels less like a crack in the head and more like something that brings people together. Those slingshot power chords are hot to the touch, that youthquake rhythm exactly the kind of thing to send kids bouncing off walls.” — David Bevan, Pitchfork (Best New Music for “Broken Bone”)
“Scandinavians have been doing punk better than anyone since the 60s. Side A is good, but it’s the B-side of this record that delivers the mind-melters. Angry, intense, urgent: These are words I am listing that describe the record because I am a lazy writer. It makes me feel a little like I want to run around in a tiny circle pit, in my kitchen, by myself.” — Princess Piss, VICE (Best Album of the Month)
“Their debut album, New Brigade , packs a seriously nasty punch, harnessing the up-against-the-wall-motherfucker fury and fight of the punk tradition and fusing it with Sonic Youth-style melodic-dissonance.” – Elliott Sharp, Philadelphia Weekly (Best Albums of the Year)
“the band elevates overlooked Continental genres like Swedish D-beat and anarcho-punk to near-mythic status.” – The New Yorker
