"Coming straight out of Sweden! This band is ex-members of Starmarket, and can these swedes rock. The sounds are very driving and the vocals are very melodramatic and intense. This record will have your head bobbing and feet stomping. Think Samiam meets Fugazi meets Swervedriver meets Sonic Youth! Woohoo! Here's another review I found which does the album justice from Splendidezine.com:In order to atone for the Cardigans' terrible sins against the music world, Sweden has given us Kevlar. In sharp contrast to the aforementioned band's bland musical stylings, Kevlar deliver razor sharp, phaser drenched punk-meets-shoegazer soundscapes. Let Me Worry Some More sits somewhere between Jawbox's Grippe and Swervedriver's Mezcal Head, the brash rhythms and lyrical prowess of the former combining with the shimmering, spaced-out guitar pyrotechnics of the latter to form swirlingly crunchy space punk nuggets. Songs like "Laughing Stock" and "Accidental Scene #2" bristle with ferocious energy and lilting melodies, while Johann Sellman's J. Robbins-like vocal delivery glides over the top. An album of apparent contrasts, Let Me Worry Some More proves that opposites do attract, while at the same time allowing Sweden to once again walk proud in musical circles."
This is good stuff.

"This CD is very cohesive...it can be listened to the whole way through. You can hear the angst and tension this band seems to want to convey, but there are no breaks during this tension. The guitar work is to be admired. Vocals fit so well with the instrumentation."
