"Driven by militaristic drum programming and a barrage of guitars that's as murky as it is belligerent, 'Kitchen Sink' sounds like a collage of post-Stooges Iggy, the Velvet Underground, and the MC5. Herdsmen Gavin Spielman and Richard Tapper are obviously more concerned with impact than professionalism, and that's why this tune rocks so hard." - Guitar Player Magazine
"Local trio Thinning the Herd offers angry, bottom-heavy rock that wouldn't have sounded too out of place on early-90s MTV." - Time Out New York
"Thinning the Herd brings together metal, punk and psychedelic mixes with a love of Mudhoney, AC/DC and Black Sabbath to form it's guitar heavy sound." - AM New York
