“Heavy on retro atmosphere and surf rock riffs, but it's also a promising display of the group's sharp, hooky songcraft.” – Pitchfork

“Tracks that stick you in the middle of a surfy, stony, dance-y, girl-group garage party.” – The Portland Mercury

“A few weeks ago, during their sold-out show at Magma Fest, it hit me that I'm not the only person who has caught on to them. All of Seattle DIY was there that night and was in love, everyone crammed into each other's space bubbles just to get a listen.” – The Stranger (Seattle)

PERFECT PUSSY (from Syracuse, NY. featuring ex Shoppers)

“On stage, front woman Meredith Graves has the charisma of a star in the making.” - Billboard

“I Have Lost All Desire for Feeling, instantly evokes basement shows rank with fresh sweat, dark except for strings of christmas lights, windows shaking, overloaded PA bleating away, and the band across the jampacked room discernible only by the occasional upward-flung limb. If you make it to one of this Syracuse band’s two outer-borough shows this week, expect to leave with bangs dripping, ears keening, and heart pounding.” - papermag

“One of the boldest new rock bands.” - Pitchfork

“These punk kids from the mean streets of Syracuse, New York, deliver high-energy slabs of mayhem-friendly post punk noise, a wall of guitar and Casio. Meredith Graves knows how to run her mosh pit like a dictator runs a birthday party.” - Rolling Stone

“One of the best debuts you’re likely to hear this year.” - Stereogum

with Soft Shoulder (Gilgongo Records)

Swearin' (members of P.S. Eliot, Big Soda, Radiator Hospital, and Bad Blood - on Salinas Records)

"This is punk verging on indie rock a la the Measure [SA] and Cheap Girls, with a heavy debt to '90s groups like Breeders, Juliana Hatfield Three and the Rentals" - Punknews.org

"It's refreshing to find a group that sounds sincerely as though it's got nothing to hide." - Pitchfork

"I want to try and explain the effect Swearin’ has on me because the album swells with the things I crave — literally, crave — from music." - Dusted Magazine

"The words “indie rock” are crucial here. While the term has long since ceased to have value as a descriptor, Swearin’ deliver a sound that could serve as a definition for what the genre used to be. (Band To Watch)" - Stereogum
