"The debut release from this Portland band is totally bitchin'!! At its root, its just lo-fi rock, but its catchy as hell and other influences filter through the fuzz. Each member of the band seems to have their own style that blends together perfectly to give them their distinctive sound. The B-side is a psychedelic post-punk dance-jam gem! This single is packaged with 3-D glasses that make the seahorse float off the cover, and for a second it seems like it might give you a kiss." (MU-Maximum Rock n Roll)

"Clunky band name aside, HCABBC come through with some rammin'n'jammin weirdrock here. I never heard the previous 12", but Rob liked it, so that's good enough for me. Portland dudes making with the twisted punk. Heavy burl on the drum-n-rhythm with jabberjawing vocals and bits and pieces of synth noise and shit thrown in here and there making for a monstrous stew. Definitely more rock than weird, and it's not so much primo scree as it is a really rhythmic lumber. "Black Mold" is dark and inviting at the same time, a wee bit similar to some Detroit strangeness (Terrible Eye Perfume whathaveyou...) with some Pac-NW creep lodged in there as well. "Psychic Violence" keeps up the rhythmic bob, showing they can find a catchy groove and stick with it while allowing the weird gusts to blow around the rest of the tune, a winding organ slide, perhaps some theremin, a slightly surfy gui-twang...lots of pieces making for a satisfying whole, nothing sounds too forced or unnecessary. You can be weird and still adhere to some structural rock constructs folks. Don't let the band name or put you off, this is solid listening material here. I have to say that 3-D record covers are always a let down though, glasses included or not. Self-released, with a 10" titled "Party Vietnam!" forthcoming." (RK-Terminal Boredom)

"The record opens with a bunch of strange sounds, screeches, and then an ominous organ cuts in, making way for some dirty, bizarre, garage rock that sounds as if it was recorded in a subterranean recording studio. Scratch that… a subterranean recording studio that has been set on fire. The cover art features what appears to be satanic Teletubby—and the liner notes seem to be written by either a very hateful fan or, possibly, a jaded member of the band. This genre usually isn’t even my thing, but I was honestly blown away by this weird slab of plastic."-razorcake

"Wild and chaotic punk rock that's also quite quirky. It feels like a gigantic cacophony of noise but it's actually played well and tightly. Each song has a number of different parts, and each part has a number of different singers. It's grating on my psyche and leads me to consider this the WHITEHOUSE of pop-punk. Super weird song titles: "Dicky Winter", "Clicky Jew Beard", "Spermacetti", "Space Cheetah", and "Crying Space Cheetah". Sheeeeeesh. Witches and warlocks play in this band, I know it. Overall, it's played well and pretty great for a demo, but I can't handle this. It's like Big Bird on an eight-hit acid trip; it's the soundtrack to a clown orgy; it's what would be playing in the background as Ronald McDonald slowly slices your throat. Fuck."

"Blasts of up-beat post-punk, reminding me of THE WEDDING PRESENT and later HUSKER DU. Lots of intricate guitar parts and a singer that oddly enough reminds me of the singer from NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL." (Vinnie-Maximum Rock n Roll)
