Reviews

  • An EP that presents a unity of vision withno discernable chinks. I'd say I expect great things from 31Knots if I didn't think they've already accomplished them.  Now it's just a matter of waiting for theword to spread.

    - Pitchfork
  • Coming across like a sober, no bullshit, babybrother to the last Mars Volta record, it is five tracks of realizedperfection. Guitars scream like buttrock, then shutter, stop, and stretch outin moody, simmering, boiling, rainy-day expanses. And then-when you leastexpect it-they come on heavy again. The drums (Jay Pellicci) and bass (JayWinebrenner) are almost robotic, and I wouldn't feel bad calling them that ifthey weren't so warm and human feeling...

    - Portland Mercury
  • Polished, shiny, sparkling indie rock gem.

    - AmpCamp
  • 31Knots is one of the few bands to never let me down - be it live or on record.

    - Punk Planet
  • 31Knots occupy their own genre.

    - Punk Planet
  • I have never heard anyone play guitar like Joe Haege. His blending of jazz, math-rock, prog, and balls-out rock results in a masterpiece. And, not only is his guitar playing incredible, but his voice also leads 31Knots.

    - Punk Planet
  • 31Knots may be one of the most (if not the most) underrated bands. They’re geniuses at work - 31Knots are blazing their own territory. Consistent, interesting, talented, and innovative. What other adjectives do you need?
