Think of a 21st Century T-Rex meets Love & Rockets and you're barking up the right pant leg. The groovy strut of "Flaunt It Like This" has all the goods to get great phones on your station's specialty show and slip into your big show (i.e. mainstream airplay)
– ALBUM NETWORK

Every track on this album is optimized for use in film productions. That's what these cats are all about, hell-bent on stardom through music and celluloid. "Flaunt It Like This" and "Bang Bang Love" seem to pave the way for the Dead Stars, while "Planet Girl" is suitable for sickly sweet flattery for any awestruck chick.

Anthems For The Friendly-Fire Generation EP
From the computer-manipulated spoken word, introduction to the final glam-slam guitar riff, this EP is dressed for excess and then some. Opener "Prozac Smile" is the sort of anthem to prescription-drug love your average indie band wouldn't touch with a 10-foot feather boa. Kneel Cohn's vocals have all the sneer of Donovan Leitch on a bender in Chelsea. "Bang Bang Love" is like Gene Loves Jezebel's "Desire" recast for the 21st century. Imagine Poison doing T. Rex covers, or if Ministry had stuck with their early dance origins. It's trashy and flashy and it gets all Barbarella in all the right places.
– JAMIE S. RICH (Mercury)
