“FemBots use “junkstruments,” but their music’s far from disposable…” — Eye Weekly
“There’s a truly spectacular class of independent music coming out of Canada, and it’s so frustratingly genre agnostic and post-everything that to even bother labeling it is an exercise in futility. Toronto duo FemBots are often lumped into some quasi-fictitious indie-folk genre, and that’s an absolutely uncomfortable fit. The duo of Dave MacKinnon and Brian Poirier once toured as members of the Weakerthans and that connection’s far more revealing. The groups share an aesthetic if not a worldview. FemBots are more ambitious and experimental than the Winnipeg favourites, more of an ongoing studio project than a traditional band. They’re content to toy with melancholy atmospherics and layers of sound, and that probably prevents them from cranking out anthems as effective as Samson and company’s.” — Punknews.org
The Burning Hell
“Don’t let Mathias Kom’s doomy Leonard Cohen baritone or the brooding, skeletal folk arrangements upon which he tends to hang his words fool you – the guy’s actually pretty funny. The Burning Hell’s latest album, Happy Birthday, is veritably overflowing with black wit and cracked genius.” — Toronto Star
