"The third edition of Minneapolis’ Caterwaul Festival runs May 24 -27 at Palmer’s Bar and Mortimers Bar. The lineup is unique mix of noise rock, punk, metal, post-punk and beyond."
–BrooklynVegan

"The excellent Caterwaul... If bands like The Austerity Program, Gay Witch Abortion, Whores., Couch Slut, Part Chimp, Murf, Thrones and Oxbow (and any of the 37 others playing) and downtown Minneapolis is more your speed, then do yourself a solid and get thee to the midwest and the spiritual home of noise rock."
–Decibel

"Well, Memorial Day Weekend is coming fast upon us. For fans of a certain type of “independent-minded, iconoclastic, noisy,” music, that means one thing: it’s time for Caterwaul... The fest, now in its third year, has become a gathering of some of the best underground bands existing today."
–New Noise

"Caterwaul is a music festival that showcases of paragons of the weird, loosely defined, in underground music. The organizers of the event have been steeped in left field music, going back decades as musicians, bookers, record label employees, running labels and otherwise active participants throughout the ecology of the subculture. Since 2022 Caterwaul has hosted a finely curated and small scale event across two venues..."
–Queen City Sounds and Art

"This annual Memorial Day weekend fest, which takes in pretty much every genre centered on loud guitars, kicks off tonight with local rockers Murf and just keeps going from there. Featured over the next three days at Mort's and Palmer's: unpredictable San Fran experimentalists Oxbow, London noisemakers Part Chimp, reunited Ohio scene-fomenters Brainiac, Jawbox album J. Robbins, and plenty of locals."
–Racket

"Caterwaul is once again returning to Palmer's and Mortimer's for their third installment this Memorial Day weekend... From the reunited surviving members of '90s legends Brainiac, UK noise makers Part Chimp, the one-man doom of Thrones, and Jawbox frontman J. Robbins' solo act, this year’s festival is shaping up to be another big one."
–Reviler

"Running May 24-27 in Minneapolis, this year's lineup at Caterwaul features a ton of heavy hitters."
