God Loves Fiasco, a 23-song debut on the bands own Beautiful imprint, is a startlingly good way to get your teenage kicks.... Incendiary guitar work, drum thrashing and perceptive lyrics... echo everyone from a hormone-drenched Sonic Youth to a youthful-sounding Slint. Standout Nothing to Lose trods on classic indie rock aesthetic a la Pavement... proving that punk rock and teenage boys go together like PB J.

Like the Ventures covering Rachmaninoff, Fiasco let their guitars buzz and sting, although the drums are more mathematically precise, and the whole thing is more inclined toward herky-jerk tempo changes and volatile outbursts.

Fiasco are the kingpins of the scene.
-The New York Times

In 2005, Fiasco performed at a block party, playing fairly obscure early-eighties punk covers—Flipper, Minor Threat, Bad Brains—that were met with slack-jawed astonishment by several wizening hipsters in the crowd.
-New York Magazine

Effortlessly blending speed metal with a tinge of no wave.
-Brooklyn Daily Eagle

God loves Fiasco, and so does Insound. These three NYC teens are creating ferocious punk with completely tight time signatures that sounds well beyond their years. Sonic Youth meets Shellac meets Lightning Bolt meets awesome. They destroy live too!
-Insound (Top 10 Staff Pick 2008)

Brooklyns Fiasco rock the rapid-fire punk strums played at eighty-eighty miles per second... to create orchestrated chaos.... There are kid bands and then there are bands who happen to be kids. Fiasco are the latter. This is no Menudo.... Make no mistake, this is punk rock. But theres definitely a Strokes-y element to their vocals that make their noise pretty melodic, too.... If Thurston Moore likes Be Your Own Pet (which he does, since he signed them) then he will LOVE these guys.
-Oh My Rockness (Band We Like)

On the surface, Fiasco could easily be described as Brooklyns answer to Be Your Own Pet the high school aged punk trio blast out fun rock with a barrage of energy. However, where Be Your Own Pet have a knack for the in-your-face live performance that sometimes takes away from the music, Fiasco seem focused on some pretty complex guitar riffs and drumbeats while still putting forth all they can.

Pardon the New York City bias, but Brooklyns Fiasco hit that buzz-worthy spot in my heart time and again. Though the band are (quite literally) just three kids from Brooklyn, their punk rock aesthetic and technical proficiency earn them praise well beyond their years.
-CMJ (again)

[Vivian Girls] have also secured themselves a spot in the boroughs punk elite, playing alongside bands like Fiasco and Fucked Up in lofts and basements from Bushwick to Bed-Stuy.
-The Brooklyn Paper

A Brooklyn-born and raised punk outfit thats hit a nerve on the noisier end of the rock continuum. Theyre young dudes, but they respect their elders -- a certain major publication we mentioned above [Spin] called them a hormone-drenched Sonic Youth... a youthful-sounding Slint... a la Pavement. New York Magazine decided on Flipper, Minor Threat, Bad Brains. You decide!
-My Open Bar

Fiasco- Three skinny kids with long somewhat curly hair and tons of energy. I shot their set from straight behind their drummer. I was probably to close as I could feel the breeze of his drum sticks as they came as close as a couple inches from my face. Minimalist lyrics and song titles that referenced body parts via Mick Jagger and David Bowie. They at times blended their sound between Fugazi and early Nirvana. I know thats a strong statement but these guys we bouncing all over the room in their boxers playing pretty impressive rhythms. Their drummer was just plain violent towards his snare drum and cymbals which is very impressive to see and hear from inches away.
-Almacks Dance Hall

Wow, they can actually play their instruments.
-Art Director for Impose

Wow, I'm really glad were putting out their record.

It really sucks that you're in Fiasco because you can never experience watching a Fiasco show.
