    The resulting blast of raw energy successfully sucks the air out of the room to leave a hard rock sound that has been stripped to the bone – in a studio performance that deserves to be lauded as the UK equivalent of The Stooges’ Metallic KO aftershock. [Jul 2025, p.61]

    The Manticore Tapes is a fascinating insight into the early days of the band. [Aug 2025, p.96]

    The recordings capture the band at a satisfyingly burly midpoint between Lemmy's punchiest moments on Hawkwind's Warrior on The Edge Of Time and Motörhead's eponymous debut the following year. [Sep 2025, p.46]
