"Imagine the best elements of PJ Harvey, The Breeders, Sonic Youth and Magic Dirt and you're close to picturing just how good this (almost all) girl band are." -Matt Coyte, Rolling Stone

"This really could be the best rock album to come out of Brisbane since “I’m Stranded.”- Bob Short, i94BAR

"Set My Bones is all gold, and to single out any particular tracks would be a disservice to a well plotted plan of sonic attack." Tal Wallace, Time Off

"Heavy guitars, emphatically dark vocals and pounding rhythms – this is the stuff of intensity and passion" Patrick Emery, Beat Magazine

YADA YADA.
