"Musically I wouldn’t really compare it to anything else. After each listen I subsequently find myself bemused by it’s raucous charm. Go have a listen, buy the tape and force it upon everyone you love or hate." - Louder Than War
"No pretentiousness, unafraid... Ugly Musick transforms you into something unrecognizable." - Tiny Mix Tapes
"There is no doubt they are occupying their own space in the independent musical universe right now. This is some of the most left-field stuff I've been sent, and I mean left-field in a good way." - Punknews.org
"Of course the staff at Weirdomusic.com loves ugly music. We can’t get enough of it... Buy it on cassette and play it in front of your parents." - Weirdomusic.com
"Their latest album is great…especially the crisp freewheeling energy created by the duo's distinctive grooves on tracks like 'Margot' and 'The Lurch I Left You In.' Made me think of the Tiger Lillies at times." - Record Theatre
