A Few Reviews And Links to Interviews

"If punk is about volume produced by screaming guitars and vocals loud enough to rival them, Fleshies are punk. However, if punk is about not following rules, well, Fleshies are still punk. Either way, the only people who lose are those who think the p-word is merely a uniform. The rest can listen to The Sicilian and revel in unrelenting carnage that rivals the Blood Brothers for aural gymnastics, off-kilter moments (such as the falsetto-sung "The Last Friday") a la the Melvins, and an overall 'tude that label honcho Jello Biafra no doubt inspired." - Brian O'Neill, Alternative Press Magazine

"These four hyperactively yelping Oakland artcore minutemen very much deserve to suck. Yet, somehow, they don't." - Chuck Eddy, Village Voice

"Sounds like a blunted version of the Hot Snakes to start with…and then it gets good in an old Amphetamine Reptile band style. Not perfect, but that's part of the Fleshies' freakish charm. Bone-dry humor comes thrillingly alive, as 80's hardcore is reborn with extra jerky flamboyance. Apparently they're even better live." - Noel F. Gardner, Rock Sound Magazine (UK)

"Tiresome and enthralling in equal measure; this is however mostly just plain weird." - James, Montag Press (UK)
