“Officer Down followed, and they dont mess about as they run around the stage ( well as best they could ) proclaiming Strike Anywhere poses and sicky punk lyrics that protest and agitate the audience. Michael Moore would be proud. I was impressed”
Punk OI UK
“Officer Down are a band that are really doing it for themselves on the UK underground punk scene. With plenty of touring on the go, a record label (EHC/TENT CITY RECORDS) and probably a whole lot more that im not aware of, as these guys are not fuckin lazy!”
Chewing Cunt Fanzine
“OFFICER DOWN were next on, The hardcore punks tore the place apart wirth a nice long set full of great songs. After seeing these guys three days in a row you could tell it was the last night of the tour as they really pushed it giving it their all.”
Luke - Soap Suds & PVA
“Heavy as always the brutal OFFICER DOWN kick in with an anthemic start to 'Blood For Oil' the opening track. Good little sampler this, Shame it's quite short though. Just get yourself a copy of the full length I think all the tracks will be on it.
”
SOAP SUDS AND PVA
“The lack of crowd was as nothing next to the amazing way these guys played. I can't be certain, but I am pretty sure that they tailored their set (on the hoof) to fit the crowd and it was mad. I urge all of you to check out Officer Down next time you get the chance, they are too good to keep secret.”
