Reviews

Parts & Labor: Receivers

By Matthew Fiander

The band is as loud as ever on Receivers, but they expand that noise rather than compress it, making for their boldest and most lasting record yet. [23 October 2008]

Parts & Labor: Mapmaker

By Joe Tacopino

Parts & Labor combine electronic noise and traditional punk with deft precision, creating beautiful, yet jarring, rock anthems. [25 May 2007]

Parts & Labor: Stay Afraid

By Jennifer Kelly

Think Lightning Bolt's ferocious noise cut through with arena-filling rock melodies... then double it. [13 April 2006]
