ABOUT BLOOD ON THE WALL
"Got a few nice slats of vinyl from Brookyln's cunning Social Registry label.
First up is the eponymous debut by BLOOD ON THE WALL, a trio who remind me a bit of what a collaboration between late '80s Yo La Tengo, Galaxie 500 and the Gibson Bros. might have sounded like. Which means, I guess, that they rock in a sorta hard, smart and guitar-y way but remain as soft French center and have very dark teeth as well."
-Byron Coley/Thurston Moore Arthur Magazine.
"There's no posing here. These are three music geeks (not an
insult) who are just making music they like, and obviously having fun doing it."
- Tastes Like Chicken
"Brooklyn rockers Blood On The Wall's self-titled debut hearkens back to the glory days with unparalleled success; it's raw, fun, and unpretentious, old fashioned drunken garage band party rock and roll with hooks and attitude galore. Damn fun stuff if I do say so myself."
- Other Music
"...as you approach the brick Colonial owned by Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon, you can't help but compose your own little indie-rock fantasy of the New York noise legends' small-town sweet life...you imagine...Gordon, 51, rocking a miniskirt and a sweater she knit last night on the porch while listening to Blood on the Wall."
- Spin Magazine
"Don't be fooled by the gory name: Blood On The Wall is not a goth or black metal band. In fact, its music is very much alive, teeming with the energy expelled when rocking out for nobody's pleasure but your own. The Brooklyn trio's raw, unsteady racket, as heard on its recently released eponymous debut album, is punk at its most primitive: rudimentary, atonal guitar lines, hollow bass pulses, clattering drums. It's all one big mess - like the splattering of a certain bodily ..uid all over the room, but way more fun."
– Philadelphia Inquirer
"As a bonus they include a video for "Baby Likes To Holler" that can only really be appreciated if you are on drugs."
–Exoduster
"Everytime I go to Blood on the Wall, peoples come up to the DJ booth and want to know who dis who dis. It's 'My Baby Likes to Holler'. It's the pills"
– Selector Dub Narcotic aka Calvin Johnson
"Blood On The Wall shakes up well-worn rock archetypes without sacri..cing the bombast of a screeching pick slide."
– Time Out NY
"10 out of 10"
