- Alternative Press: February 2012

Great Like Cake's At the Drive In-style indie-rock harks back to the better side of emo.
- San Diego CityBeat 2012

It feels as if they are in opposition of current trends of super polished "post hardcore" and overtly stylized and pretentious indie rock, in that Stallion Italian has this "taking it back" vibe to it. So instead of multi-layered studio trickery we have raw, lively and catchy songs performed in an aggressive manner. Everything is open; each riff and each drum hit comes crashing down distorted and unhinged giving this endeavor a punk rock urgency their contemporaries lack by and large.

Great Like Cake are a newer band hailing from San Diego, however they are steeped in that city's distinct indie/DIY musical tradition.....the sound here isn't all that far off of Tanner, aMinature, No Knife or the Hot Snakes...a more recent and closer sonic comparison would be fellow San Diegoans, Lanterns.......nervous, elastic riffs over tight drumming topped off with decent vocals. To my knowledge this is their first release, hopefully there are many more to come..........

Melodic indie-punk featuring members of Blue Sky Law, The Challenger Deep and Architect Sketch. Ferocious bass lines. Vocals get a bit lost, but who cares? I especially like the track "Hot Strokes" with its druggy-positive message "Right now nothing seems impossible." This record rules!
