Critical reception

The Independent wrote: "The group Bis most resemble, in style and sound, is X-Ray Spex, but it's a resemblance bereft of any acknowledgement of what it means to mimic those attitudes in the late Nineties. Not only is the music a shrill imitation of late-Seventies punk ... but the targets are punk targets, too."[1]
