Reviews: Mostly medium-tempo hardcore, this band utilizes both melodic structures and FLIPPER-ish noise to equal advantage. While raw and powerful, there are catchy tunes galore. Excellent. -Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #25, May/June 1985) What we have here is a collection of medium to thrash paced style songs that don't hit any new highs on the originality chart. There are some good melodies and well thought out lyrics about religion, punk, politics and such. The muddy recording doesn't help things much but maybe O.C.'s Against the Grain could impress on vinyl... Maybe? -Morgan (from Ink Disease #10, Winter 1985)
