"These guys rock beyond rock. If anyone is looking for the best in underground bands then you don't need to look any further. These guys are the best. I seen them Live and they are even better than on the cd. Richie the front man is an insane individual and is going places. If you don't have this cd you need it."

Knuckle Sandwich's "Nice" Finds Room To Breathe In Punk Rock

"Maybe the strongest adjective that should be employed to describe Knuckle Sandwich's debut wide release is "farsighted". With heavy metal reborn and punk rock sliding into a post-Epitaph slump of Bad Religion and Rancid clones, it would seem like a horrendous time to break an enterprising new band. Not so, really, since Knuckle Sandwhich, at heart, are a celebration of rock and roll without self-inflicted boundaries. Punk chops slam headlong into melodic metal riffs. Energetic drums and thick foundation bass provide a workable frame for strong melodies and intriguing vocal heights and valleys. That's not to say this is a perfect release: opening track (and lead single) "American Song" is oddly free of the band's trademark irony, and as such comes off as somewhat stilted. As a whole, however, this is a seductive album full of unexpected turns and vigorously pursued musical ideas. Well worth the investment for anyone bored silly of cashed-through emo and flagrantly scenist "punk" (e.i. Victory/Epitaph/Drive Through...etc)."
