"You could call the performance many things. Chaotic. At times, athletic. And always confident. But watching guitarist Brian Penkrot use a feedback loop to drown out a Comer monologue, it’s hard to call it pretty. Though, pretty may miss the point." - Zachary Oren Smith, Iowa Public Radio (

"The performance is at turns abrasive, harmonic, meandering, pummeling, mellow...a photo-negative of Funk...like the Red Hot Chili Peppers got crushed in a hydraulic press and nestled in microfiche at your local library." - Molly Mary O'Brien, I Enjoy Music (
