“By the time the game actually finishes it’s gone 11, and hotter than Hades, which is just the way Jon Spencer likes it: when he and his band take the stage, it’s like a bomb going off.” – James Sherry / Kerrang!
“Which is why, when they give us some hell, we just smile and take it any way they want.” – Victoria Segal / NME
