KERRANG KKKK "Mountainous in sound." "Bolting guitar riffs and piercingly thunderous drums" With fickle temperaments and destructive tendencies, the human mind can be a freakish place. Here's a disorientating trip through a brilliant one" UPSET **** (4 stars) "It's Sharper, diverse and offers more than the immense riffs the band have become known for. It delivers the same spitfire unruliness the Brighton rockers convey in their live shows. Pit Ready of course." ROCK SOUND 7/10 "Brighton's Rory Indiana offer an enigmatic spin on the alt-rock template, with 'Ruling Class Crooks' full of Juggernaut riffing intricately intertwining with colossal choruses."
