"A band making some SERIOUS noise. Brooklyn’s Bugs in the Dark's have no time for sleepy-eyed, middle of the road, groan along, pseudo-rock anthems - they’re too busy delivering ferocious, sweaty punk, fueled by sledgehammer drums and mean dueling guitars...Highly Recommended for fans of classic power-punk trios such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sleater Kinney." - Fiddle While You Burn
“Bugs In The Dark are a ferocious sounding trio…with an air of delirium akin to being feverishly sick in a room with no windows, with only the virus addled corners of your mind for company... Singer, Karen Rockower has a voice as soul-shaking and guttural in depth as Rid Of Me era PJ Harvey, and as sexy and haughty as Karen O in a bad mood, yet, just lurking beneath the fiery surface is an air of fragility that gives the music a real urgency and depth that takes BITD beyond the realms of being another bunch of fashionable, fuzzy-eyed, pedal-hopping New York stoners into being a band showing real promise for greater things. –Super Sweet
