Reviews:

PUNK PLANET 2005 - "The instrumentation here is great, with really solid, expressive, emo-style guitar work, slyly original bass playing and drumming that is perfectly relentless. The vocals come off as an afterthought as the strain is left audible. This works for the happy chaos of 'Disco Vietnam', but not so much on the more straight forward songs." - Dan Laidman

AMERICAN MUSIC PRESS (AMP) Issue ..15: June/July 2005 - "This one is kind of like AT THE DRIVE IN meets THE JAZZ JUNE, with maybe a bit of BRAID thrown in for good measure. Three bands that have long since broken up. So they're not copying anything current, and the sound they've created is not really like anything that's been done before. So they've got that going for them. TRADED TO RACINE are an example of a band who can take their influences, blend them and work with them to create their own style, yet not come off as stale, rehearsed, and they've managed to avoid the kiss of death - the overdone sound. Pretty damn good. " - Matt 'Windbreaker' Cote
