"Full of reverb and distant vocals that create a chilling atmosphere... 
The sound is desolate, like post-war dystopias."
–Distorted Sound

"Reminds me of the glory days of bands on Hydrahead Records."
–Every Album Ever Podcast

"Although a duo, Bronson Arm have delivered an album far more nuanced and hence rewarding than your bog standard noise rock outfit. So, check ’em out."
–Ghost Cult

"Anthemic noise-punk songs that are a study in controlled chaos... Bickel’s heavy, haunting baritone guitar intertwines with Yates’ powerful drumming, creating a soundscape that is simultaneously minimalist and monumental."
–Idioteq

"The self-titled full-length from Bronson Arm is an unstoppable flex of muscles we never knew existed, surely enough to satiate the feeding needs of Sonic Youth, Scratch Acid, Naked Raygun and God Bullies fans alike by picking at the totemic noise-rock scab and seeing what fresh life is ready to be revealed from under it…"
–Louder Than War

"The choice to use a baritone guitar was a good one as it offers a well rounded warmth to the duo’s overall sound. But, don’t get that confused with lacking aggressive punch... Bronson Arm’s self titled debut is a treasure trove of all things noise and all things adventurous."
–Nine Circles

"A stripped-down and percussive dissonance that refuses to be ignored. Exploring dark rhythmic tensions and erratic mood shifts in an anxiety laden landscape, Bronson Arm’s quickly evolving body of work effortlessly meanders from slow burning dirges to spasmodic jolting bangers. As the band briefly dips their toes into elements of no wave, noise rock and punk, you might hear hints of artists like Metz, Sonic Youth, Fugazi and KARP.”
–Tinnitist

"Noisy and abrasive, but also hooky. Unsettling and dark, but it also doesn't take itself too seriously. It scratches that '90s alternative rock 'Sonic Youth/Fugazi/Jesus Lizard' itch without ever sounding too much like any of those bands."
