Band Of Susans / Press

“Band Of Susans, a co-ed New York City quintet, have put more electric guitar on one record than any other I've ever heard.”

Melody Maker

“This will blow yer f**kin head right off....This is utterly dazzling.”

Sounds (U.K.)

“Chiming, buzzy, trilling, dirty, clean, droning, swirly, gooey.... It's in there. Disparate guitars inhabit the songs like tenants in an East Village walk-up: they're quarrelsome, drunk on Rolling Rock -- each wants to be heard for itself, yet taken together the sum is greater than the parts.”

Raygun

“Band Of Susans are reaching further out, moulding precise three-pronged guitar raids into grand sculptures.”

N.M.E.

“What truly distinguishes BOS is a talent for building their music around small but durable melodic or chordal units, which gives them a monolithic power matched by few.”

Creem

“THIS is the kind of record that puts everything else into perspective. Compared to all the turgid, overstrained rock that s been clawing its way from America these past years, Veil soars like Lindbergh s plane...A sublime, breathtaking fluency. This is rock at its most liberated and free-flowing.”

Melody Maker

“All hail the overdriven amp, the feedback-saturated guitar pickup, the hum of harmonic sustain, the clamorous collision of power chords in the heart of the sonic maelstrom....Let us now praise Band Of Susans.”

Rolling Stone Magazine

“Band Of Susans never loses sight of the passion that underscores the rigorous intellect of their music.”

Chicago Tribune

“A crucible of high art and trash rock culture.”
