"The set feels like an ocean of noise, gentle waves to roiling waters and back again."
"The sap was saved for the microphone, because the rest of the set was balls-to-the-wall heavy, melodic guitars, equal parts clean and distorted."
"During the same songs, portions of the crowd can be seen head-banging, dancing, moshing and simply staring, mesmerised by the performance."
"This meticulousness rewarded the audience who were honestly left in bewilderment, amazement, awe and stupefaction by the first minute of the quartet’s opening song."
"The group created a swirling ambience of rise and fall verses, droning samples and doom riffs."
"It can be intense in certain aspects playing festivals so it’s probably a good gauge of where the set is at now."
The Americans will tour around Australia in June
