"Travel back to late 70’s CBGBs, Blondie, Talking Heads, and The Ramones headlined a venue plastered in grime and graffiti. Spastic guitar thrash giving way to shouty choruses and plenty of attitude. Inspired by that theme, take a band that mixes influences as diverse as Detroit garage-punk, The New York Dolls, and Riot Grrrl…and you have the Machetes. Glammed-up-punk princesses that deliver high-voltage intensity, rousing and sleazy, swaggering through a sweat-drenched revolution of style and urgency. There’s a riot goin’ on, and here that spirit resurfaces, only because it was never dead to begin with." www.lonelyvagabond.exclaim.ca
