In a review of their performance at Laneway Festival 2023, The Music’s David James Young wrote: “Though they're not the scrappy upstarts of Dogrel anymore, that also means they're a well-oiled precision machine after returning to the road throughout 2021 and 2022 – as exemplified by the thrashing Nabokov and the baggy bass chug of Televised Mind. Plus, they've still got that dogrel in them: Big is as urgent and violent as ever, while signature song Boys In The Better Land serves as a standout moment of the entire day. Long live Dublin's finest.”
