Press for "Slayer on a Sunny Day":
“After a ten year hiatus, the much lauded Parker brothers return to their literate and urgent ouevre with a new band and a new album.” – ELECTRIC SOUND OF JOY
“Pairing a racing momentum with droll delivery in an attempt to look on the bright side and make the best of the present moment, no matter how difficult outside forces conspire to make such a mindset.” – VARIOUS SMALL FLAMES
“Something in the song is growling at you instantly; the guitar lines have this edge to them that immediately has you on edge…the anticipation builds for that whole first minute. Then you’ve the seemingly spoken vocal delivery that works through the track as the guitars stab and poke through your speakers; it’s this riotous bit of ramshackle rock n’ roll that’s perfectly balanced to rip through your speakers.” – AUSTIN TOWN HALL
