"Souls on Board play that rare sort of visceral music that actually violates. They leapfrog the plate glass and beat you about your temples before you've even remembered that cerebral music can also shake your hips." Mess + Noise
"... the second EP from Melbourne’s Souls on Board confirms that their melange of atmospheric soundscapes, plangent stadium rock and jazzy, experimental pop lacks for neither vision nor a sense of reality...they remake rock n roll as a ritual we’re drawn to without ever understanding." Craig Mathieson, Mess + Noise
"... a reassuring rock gem" Rave
"... pearl of a six tracker" Scene
