“One of the most satisfying electro-hybrid albums we’ve ever heard – ever.”-Perfect Porridge
“Their first album is perfect.” -Adam Lazlo/Analog Electric
“The album seems to progressively mature as each track plays and by the time the time track ‘Us Against All’ played I was completely floored at how good it was.” -Stereotoid
“…well-produced, expertly executed…All those traits are represented in equal measures on The Surfactants…a very smart, successful experiment in computer-driven genre mashing.” -Chris Godsey/MNArtists
“The current album is amazing.” -High Plains Drifter
“These guys mix electronics with standard rock sounds, which ends up sounding pretty good.” -Rift Magazine
“If the songs on the band’s MySpace site are any indication of what’s to come, Duluth is a few months away from being kicked in the teeth.” …and the heroine screams help!
