Kerrang!

“Trash Talk are unstoppable, uncontrollable and the band to pledge your allegiance to this year.”

The New York Times
“When Trash Talk starts a song at a show, it sounds like a jar opening and releasing the vacuum seal: the snap, the coordination, makes audiences go kablooey.”

NME
“Trash Talk is a masterclass in sonic violence.”

Pitchfork
7.8 album review
“Eyes & Nines” works as a full-immersion experience, its sludgy roar hitting hard on a visceral gut-level.”

Alternative Press
“Eyes & Nines melts faces entirely on its own merit.”

The Fader
(cover story Nov 2010)
“Trash Talk just compress all of these details into a brutal little package. We’re better off without the trimmings.”

“In a time where personality and spirit are often beaten out of bands before their first single drops; the emergence of Trash Talk is a welcome arising.”
