Norcos y Horchata: ““Unkind Sometimes” starts off with such gross, distorted, driving bass that it could be the dumpster baby of your favorite FEEDTIME or NO BAILS tune. When the song kicks in, the vocals remind me of the darker NAKED RAYGUN songs, with a little NOMEANSNO seasoning for that extra aural punch. The flipside of this lil’ spinner hits with some guitar feedback/pedal knob-twisting that pulls me back to the TRANS MEGETTI’s 1999 opening track “Rio Nexpa,” wherein it builds a tension that makes my legs sweat. It bursts into a ’77-style thug bar pounder, and out of nowhere Annie comes in delivering “Everyone hide your head, everyone will soon be dead.” She only plops in once to deliver this, which emphasizes the band’s attuned craftsmanship to impact and craving more. I mean, come on, a great song with a greater hook only one time in the song! It is both genius and irritating. I don’t know if this song is about the end of the world or the end of a friendship, but either way, it is worth a spin. This is the perfect two-sider that makes me bummed that I slept on getting their LP. I think I should mention this has folks that were in BILL BONDSMAN, BUMP-N-UGLIES, DEVIOUS ONES, the PUTZ, and many others.” –maximumrocknroll

"The Antibuddies have a uniquely sarcastic and snarky style of political messaging that makes their songs memorable, entertaining, and motivating. Like Dead Kennedys and War on Women (whom they have opened for), this band understands that incorporating a hefty dose of sarcasm can be an effective way of relaying their feelings while still drawing attention to what’s going on in the world. While many of the EP’s tracks are about societal issues such as feminism and upholding radical values, the band also leaves room for songs about pro wrestling” –fulltimeaesthetic
