Current mood:  thirsty
Quick press update. This makes us a little uncomfortable because it sounds like we're bragging or something. But, believe me when I tell you: We're completely humbled. And we also think it makes for interesting reading. So if you're wondering what people have to say about us, or who's saying it, check it out. Where applicable, click the quote to see the full review. Some of these you might have to buy off the rack.

DECIBEL: [9/10] "Another Day Has Passed is a rarity - a record that is aggressive, melodic, brutal, punishing, and completely at odds with anything currently popular in the metal world..."

REVOLVER: [8/10] "a tight and upbeat brand of metal that aims straight at the heart of the mainstream—and mostly hits strikes."

OUTBURN: [3/4] "Goes Cube has earned one of the great albums of the year"

ALLMUSIC GUIDE: "on their first full-length album, Another Day Has Passed, Goes Cube do an enjoyably good job of integrating the brutal and the melodic."

CHICAGO READER: "Another Day is a stunning eruption of proggy punk metal, combining the anthemic melodies and tight post­hardcore song structures of Torche with the restrained mathiness and fathoms-deep textures of Isis. Furiously aggressive yet scarily nimble, it’s the sound of skinny tech geeks savoring the sweet justice of kicking sand in the jocks’ faces, over and over—and you don’t get the feeling it’ll stop being fun for these guys when somebody loses an eye."

THE SKINNY: Another Day Has Passed showcases riff-heavy fury aimed at genuine metal fans, not hedging its bets in pursuit of knowing nods of ironic approval from fashionistas or alternative band-makers like Mike Patton.

DEAF SPARROW: [4/5] "To sum  Another Day Has Passed in one sentence; this is an excellent fucking record. Yes, don’t let their beards, boney frames and black rimmed glasses fool you. Goes Cube is a metalhead’s wet dream."

SMN NEWS: [8.5/10] "GOES CUBE is a band that the world needs more of. ..they masterfully combine rock, punk, and metal, and can still stamp it as original... It’s both punishing and a work of art. You’ll be surprised how much power these guys unleash with a ton of massive distortion, commanding chants, brilliant melody, and diverse drumming that is set to stun with whatever attack GOES CUBE decides to approach. And man alive do they have some monstrous riffs."

MOUTH FOR WAR: "Through the thundering rhythms and thick guitars emerges the band’s post-hardcore, indie rock roots with melodic elements that help set off beefier moments on the album. The overall effect creates one hell of musical experience."

REVIEWS RESIST: "The above recipe is one that the members of Goes Cube followed very closely when cooking up their debut full-length “Another Day Has Passed” (out now on The End Records). It is also one that will guarantee a spot on my “Top 10 of 2009” list. Now excuse me while I go gorge myself."

FREE TIMES (COLUMBIA, SC): "Listening to Goes Cube is exciting. In an ideal world, listening to music would always be exciting, but alas, this is not an ideal world. One must wonder, though, whether an ideal world could spawn a seething sonic cavalcade such as Goes Cube’s punk-metal mutation — and whether a world without Goes Cube could ever be ideal."

PITTSBURGH DAILY NEWS: "Easily one of the most diverse, noisy and satisfying rock records this year, "Another Day Has Passed" spills pink, metal, hardcore, sludge, post-hardcore and straight-up rock into a boiling dish that you'll give yourself a migraine trying to label. How about simply 'awesome'?"

RIVER FRONT TIMES (ST LoUIS): "After a decade filled with bloated indie rockers and copycat screamo bands, Goes Cube vocalist David Obuchowski's larynx-shredding battle cries are refreshing. They're the perfect urgent focal point for the Brooklyn band's punishing mix of post-punk and metal..."

THRASH HITS: "They might be a hipster metal wet dream, but Brooklyn-based Goes Cube are too busy taking care of business with epic fuzz-riffs to care too much about that. Vocalist/guitarist, David Obuchowski, gave us the skinny."

EXCL.. "The crunchy shredding will please those who enjoyed Kylesa's Static Tension, released earlier this year"

BLOGCRITICS: "Another Day Has Passed kicks ass with thundering double bass, diabolically low-tuned guitars, and Appell’s insane drum fills. It’s a sonic assault on all levels, making for an eardrum shattering squash of fulfillment that will leave you in a heap panting, sweating, and screaming for more. Add Obuchowski’s throat-ripping vocals on top of the mix and you’re dealing with one hell of a rock band."

WAY TOO LOUD: "Goes Cube have created an album with elements of metal, punk, hardcore, post-hardcore and prog rock mixed all together to form a line of songs that are loose and chaotic, but at the same time fashioned into structured harmonies and creative riffs"

NOISECREEP: "bands such as Quicksand, Helmet and Unsane have for the most part avoided the metal tag, despite being unquestionably heavy. Brooklyn's Goes Cube are poised to pick up where those bands left off with their forthcoming release 'Another Day Has Passed.' A record of considerable heft, but not really metal in the classic sense."

BLISTERING: "Goes Cube, who hail from Brooklyn, New York, have managed to create something that’ll extend beyond the hardcore/punk scene the same way that Torche on ‘Meanderthal’ shook loose from the constraints of genre."

METALSUCKS: "Goes Cube force us to discard our genre tags and recognize the rarity of the word “song” as it pertains to metal. They can write a damn fine one, complete with verses and a chorus and ye olde bridge...Another Day Has Passed feels nigh boundaryless in its warm embrace of the many forms of layin’ it down. This can only be good for heavy music."
