Press/Reviews:
Cousins of Reggae: 
"Uninspired and banal, self-indulgent noise that brings to mind just what you think when I type that. Of course, a noise band is possibly the easiest target for off-handed criticism (the exact sort of criticism I specialize in, in fact). Though the genre's barnhouse is packed to the rafters with black-clad misanthropes, largely indifferent (perhaps hostile) to the opinions of anyone other than their own cardre of friends, they're still desperately seeking post-humous recognition for their groundbreaking grade 11 band's debut, hopefully in the form of a re-issue with liner notes by Thurston Moore or Byron Coley." -goldkixx? blog

"triple grafted launchpad scenarios of blanket beatings from a handicapped area of Earth's moon ("the moon") for you to chew on.  Vocals surely deranged... distorted dungeon screams from dimension-x.  Like Swedish blunt knife molesters the Brainbombs, or similar sick-i-tudes, this disc is a heart stopper of super-hero level seriousness.  The backtrack to the voices on this disc is an unsettling stew of jabberwocky.  Electronic?  Rock?  Bullshit to your caveman ears, go back to the source.  This is the crude matrix from which we spring.  Dumb DNA for the smart drink set. " -Ben McOsker, Load Records

The Waxathon:
"did anyone get copies of "The Waxathon" by Blake Hargreaves from Twig? lp is a totally twisted filthy-shit noise rec from garbage lands of Mercury....amazing... cover is horrible on the eyeballs... big time... & not in a Odd Squad way either" -John Olson, Wolf Eyes/American Tapes USA

"Blake Hargreaves very recently moved to Montréal and has brought with him boxes full of his first vynil release "The Waxathon". A solo multi-instrumentalist, he wields wounded turntable, guitar, microphone and home-made tone generator to chaotic effect. While this is definitely "noise music", it is full of sudden bursts of joy as well as very pretty moments. This is fresh and exciting! " -Léon Lo, Afterhours Magazine, Japan

"Another key piece of Canadian content is The Waxathon by Blake Hargreaves LP (Fluorescent Friends). It 's not entirely clear what the artist 's name is, but the brunt of this fucker is lovely. The sound goes all over the place, crudely distorting vaguely post-core motion through the use of creaky guitars, spoon-darkened vocals, some kinda goddamn electronic hijinx, and presumed turntable leakage. Sounding like the hand-picked gems from many months of vastly stoned late night jam sessions, the music here really moves around in your head like a little truckload junk, looking for just the right corner in which to take a dump.In ways it has some textural similarities to the Midwest and Northeast U.S.underground space-core-improv scenes, but its flavors are unique and it also features two of my favorite song titles of the month "I beat cops up the rope ladder " and "I am standing on a fucking mountain." The story of my life. In song!" -Thuston Moore & Byron Coley, Arthur Magazine, USA
