Selected Quotes:
“If the Jesus and Mary Chain tripped back in time to Haight-Ashbury circa 1967 and started a Suicide tribute band, it might sound a little bit like this.”                                                                   - The Georgia Straight

"Imagine The Velvet Underground jamming with The Black Angels after listening for hours, on high doses of epo, to Suicide records."
- Turn Up The Volume

Days of Purple & Orange:
"If you dig the insanity of garage legends Thee Oh Sees and the fuzziness of The Black Angels combined with the post punk weirdness of Devo you will love this ...I certainly did!"

"The music of The Intelligence Service is like an auditory time machine with the dial broken off and the volume cranked; careening you forward with fuzzed out guitars and catchy organ riffs overtop plush basslines and drums that echo around your chest. At the same time though reaching back through the wormhole; retracing roots with a jittery blend of raucous punk drive, and a foot firmly planted in the psychedelic San Francisco sound."
