Recent reviews of our debut CD: 

Punk Globe:

"This Richland, Washington band on a local label takes off in a lot of different directions, underscoring its steady screaming hardcore thrash punk roots. Nice and clean angry sound. I loved "Dead Janitor Mercenaries." "Learning" chugs along in an accordion of cascading lyrics--it's bouncy and fun! "Accomplice" is complicit and keeps the tempo fast. "Removal Process" swirls like an asteroid in orbit. "Outdoors" swoons swoops and dips, while "On The Take" is intricate and involved. "Unseated" shows real minor chord mastery. "The Lift" is uplifting in its righteous political denunciation. "Down There" is impatient and nervous -- what a treat! "Perps" hangs rightfully creepy as it speeds away. "Patty Melted" humors the listener, and "Separate" is a profile in alienation. "Radiation Reject" . . . major meltdown time. "Overdog" -- really cool choruses buzz saw frontal relentless attack. Comes with bonus track, "Waste of Time" -- I think it's called.  Keep an eye out for this band."

Maximum Rock 'N' Roll:

"This is a weird fucking album - it's like speed-metal with a touch of thrash and a touch of rockabilly. Weird lyrics too, I don't get it. I don't listen to a lot of speed-metal with all their double-kick drums and stuff, so I'm not really the right person to review this, but THE ASHAMED seems kind of similar to new SLAYER mixed with DEAD KENNEDYS. Like I said, I don't get it either. They have really clean vocals on this, which feels off. It totally seems like they'd be a fun band to see live; cool artwork too."

 

Razorcake:

"Thrashy hardcore with metal tinges and a rockabilly undertow."
