“Effusively enthusiastic youths add an open-minded risk-taking approach of local heroes XBXRX to the ramshackle funnypunk basis of local heroes Panty Raid, and the result has been one of the most exciting and ecstatic debut records of any new Bay Area band of this millenium. It's wild and daring, and sometimes even as darling as Beat Happening at their punkest.” DJ Rick, KDVS



“Fun, sloppy, outsider punk music from young kids in Oakland, who go through the prescribed channels that the lo-fi folks do. It’s spastic and repetitive and brief and favors velocity and noise over great songwriting and a cleancut image … and that’s totally fine. Song titles are somewhat arbitrary and their clear vinyl comes stuck to a double-sided, silkscreened chunk of corrugated cardboard. They yell about possession, possibly with intent to distribute, and also do a song about a “Bop In Wok,” whatever that is. It’s fun and not a lot to digest or think about, and that’s for the best. Garagey, loose, fast, weird.” Doug Mosurak, Dusted Magazine
