Critics have said:
"It's all spark and fire: rhythms like Captain Beefheart and Can and Pere Ubu did rhythms, guitars that clash and a name that references obliquely possibly the Gang of Four's finest moment." -Everett True, Legendary UK music critic.
"You sound like the Clash banging on metal things in a scrapyard while listening to free jazz" -Some drunk guy at our show.
"Armedalite Rifles is a Pine Bush, NY based band known for their discordantly arty punk pop sound, blending funky-jazzy-noise-skronks with stop-start rhythms and shambolic shuffling." -Maximum Rock and Roll
"Armedalite Rifles are raucous agents of cacophony and punk pop who waste no time punching you in the viscera" -Chronogram
