"Songs that channel grunge, art rock, and post-punk... Raw rock ‘n’ roll with a distinct pop influence."
–Bandcamp Daily
"Recorded and mixed by the legendary Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, the album promises to deliver the same post-riot grrrl punch that has put Scrunchies in the same breath as bands like Mannequin Pussy, Screaming Females, and Sleater-Kinney... Scrunchies are here to remind us why punk is as relevant as ever."
–Idioteq
"Post-punk noise rock from Scrunchies. The third album titled 'Colossal' will be here in the latter half of August on Learning Curve Records."
–Louder Than War
"One of the Twin Cities’ best noise-making, throat-shredding rock acts of the past few years."

–Minnesota Star Tribune
"Loud, raw, and succinct... Sometimes noisy and sometimes punky rock. 'Colossal' was recorded by the late Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago."
–Scene Point Blank
"The band’s unique fusion of grunge and alternative influences with the raw energy of indie punk and punk rock creates a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly original."
–Thoughts Words Action
"In short, the album is amazing. Full of lush textures and dynamics, in some part, due to Steve Albini’s sonic treatment... Some part, Laura and the band grabbing hold and claiming stake of themselves as seasoned artists fully in control of their powers as they rolled into their third full-length record."
