Strike by Les Thugs
"Sans maquillage ni muselière, les Thugs naviguent du noisy-punk le plus abrupt (Poison heart ou The Letter) à des havres de paix en demi-teintes (Loving son ou Waiting) avec un naturel de vainqueurs. Si le fond accepte de nouvelles donnes, plus mûres, plus ouvertes, la forme par contre se love sur ses accents les plus crus." — Jean-Luc Manet / Les Inrockuptibles, 1995.
