"Porcupine generate enough hooks to open a fishing appliance store with the Queens of the Stone Age influenced grooves as the most popular choice of bait.....the concrete drums and bass work in unison as a solid backbone while the guitarist and his vocals occasionally wander off, returning to provide the instrumentation a real punch"

"There is something about a loud and distorted Fender Jazzmaster sound that is a beautiful thing. Perhaps this is one reason why I see resemblance to Dinosaur Jr., as that heavy Jazzmaster sound is what J. Mascis is known for.

"The eleven tracks featured here are peppered with these sorts of quick subtle influences that all come together to form these oddball but at the same time strangely pleasant upbeat rock numbers.

"A well-crafted jumble of sounds....approachable guitar-pop, even when the hooks occasionally catch listeners off- guard"
