"The New Plymouth-based stoner groove metal group has put on quite the show for us here. Their new EP II is an experiment...a show of catchy 'metallised' Arctic Monkeys' riffs bootstrapped with addictive grooves and an ever-changing atmosphere, which is definitely at the pinnacle of underground music in NZ." - Liam Davis, Muzic.net.nz
