"I wandered upstairs for Edmonton's GODS, who were the source of the thundering bass, even drowning out the thunder outside and the chaos down below.
GODS were impressive with two lead bassists and a drummer making “ungodly” amounts of racket. But it was a beautiful racket. In addition to thundering rhythms there was some lead bass being played and the two bassists Andrew Patrick and Krista Wynne even sang vocal harmonies." - LA BEAT
Smash your head on the punk rock! This high-energy garage trio goes straight for the throat with some of the most fuzzed-out, intense, howly-skronky stuff to have ever hit a dance floor with the hi-hat on the offbeat. How does a band get a lo-fi sound live? They're GODS, that's how. - sledisland.com
