"like brass knuckles on a velvet glove [...] bootblacks reel you in, then pounce...forceful stuff."
-patrick short, swampland zine
"this is just class, brimming with dark punkishness and fierce attitude. quite
honestly one of the best bands i've seen this year."
- jeremy thomas, perverted by language
"bootblacks are blasting their way into the international conscious,
sending a dark cloud of smoke signals to the music world.
watch out for bootblacks, they are destined to appear on the cover
of many music magazines and take over the radio airwaves.
they are my new favorite band."
"monozid partnered up with a gem from the u.s.,
the bootblacks from new york city. what a great combination!
one cannot begin to compare the sound of both bands
because their music is so different - but the interaction
of these two shining bands that have teamed up on this highly addictive
release has triggered my repeat mode over and over again."
-static magazin germany
"Interesting for people who like BIRTHDAY PARTY and SONIC YOUTH.
For me it's too arty-farty."
-Micha, Plastic Bomb
