What "they're" saying:
Daytrotter
The same kind of Seattle Band that takes you on with their dirty fast and
dangerous rock-n-roll. They've made Iggy Pop stop and take notice.

NPR
...similarly primed for success... there's no containing the primal, giddy energy that crackles through it...
It's innocent and raunchy, wide-eyed and tunnel-visioned, all at once.

Spin
Soak the Kinks in cheap booze, reignite the Stooges' strut and add some
modern Strokes of ambition, and you have the Blakes
