"...take a big dollop of early 90's Seattle and mix it with a splashing of early 80's NY Hardcore and you'll have a rough idea of where Shortlist are coming from. Overall? Recommended - like a grungy Black Flag for those that missed it the first (and second!) time around."
-- Voltcase 

"How refreshing to hear a young N. Irish punk band play something other than generic emo, pop punk or oi! These three lads are obviously well into their grunge but also seem to have been blasting a lot of early '80s US hardcore. 'Liquor Stone' and 'Daddy?' are bleached out grunge stabs. Eat It is total Poison Idea. Consumer Persona is a barrage of inventive riffing and fluid drumming. Black Flag, early Queers, Dwarves, Circle Jerks. It all comes crashing back."
-- Andrew Griswold 

"Shortlist play with a conviction sadly lacking in so much contemporary music. The sound feels like an amalgamation of Bleach-era Nirvana and hardcore punk. This music comes from the heart and soul and, live, it is all delivered with uncompromising energy."
-- Stephen Mc Cauley - Electric Mainline (BBC)
