UrbA solid record of contagious melodies and dance-tastic beats. [Jul/Aug 2004, p.125]
-
These scuzzy Voidoids are as immature as Blink-182 were; they just have hipper ways of hiding it—like pretending punk and new wave were the same thing.
-
BlenderA hedonistic debut that's thick with the stench of leatherette and fake fur. [Aug 2004, p.131]
-
FilterIt's a solid showing from a band... dead set on packaging the unbridled mania of their live show, and more fun than anything else. [#11, p.97]
-
It's tough to say whether The Fever should be appreciated or disdained for going apeshit within well-worn terrain.
-
Like Hot Hot Heat with a less annoying singer, The Fever offer a glimpse of everything that's good about dance-punk.
-
Alternative PressWhen Red Bedroom ditches the choppy guitar riffs... the results are as much of a buzzkill to Bedroom's jumpin' vibe as cops busting up a raging house party. [Aug 2004, p.116]
-
Even if it's derivative, Red Bedroom is very catchy.
-
Rolling StoneA propulsive party mix of garage rhythms, keyboard blurps and lecherous guitars drooling all over the ladies' shoes. [28 Oct 2004, p.103]
-
The band's organ and raspy vocals give Red Bedroom a jolt of early punk, which, combined with an adept sense of rock ‘n' roll, has signs that the Fever has been spending equal time listening to proto-punk and garage rock bands of the ‘60s.
-
MagnetSounds like it was put together using spit, eyelash glue and sequins that fell off David Johansen's costumes all those years ago. [#64, p.90]
-
UncutThe Fever are shaping up as America's Franz Ferdinand, taking their cues from Buzzcocks and Wire. [Mar 2005, p.100]
-
New Musical Express (NME)Has the pungent whiff of an album with an imminent expiry date. [12 Feb 2005, p.51]
