Press

"One of the best anarcho-folk bands I've ever heard (right up there with Mischief Brew, Alan Baker, and Defiance Ohio), and the new recordings are amazing. Some of the most badass pickwork I've heard and some great lyrics."

— The Sound of AE

"Wykoff is the very definition of grassroots: using homespun charm and what must be a Faustian purchase of bluegrass virtuosity on the guitar, he employs the ancient vector of folk music to promote a political message. His appeal is undeniable: earnest in earnest, he sings of being poor, of laying down in front of bulldozers, of the evils of military recruitment. More bluegrass in format and punk in spirit, listening to this modern day troubadour definitely paints the picture of sitting around a campfire, hearing a traveling musician tell his cautionary tales and sing his grand yarns. It’s wholesome, but enlightening."

— Joe Laz, Six String and a Stool

“This is Slug’s revenge. There album Revenge is never a four letter word is amazing. There technical music skill is only surpassed by there lyrical quality .”

— The Ibogain Effect, Tumblr, Inc.

“The best string band in SC ”

— Sloane Spencer, Country Fried Rock: Music & Interviews

"Slug's Revenge can only be described as fast and furious. With Wykoff's incredible talent and flat picking style, every track on the debut album, Revenge is Never a Four Letter Word, reveals a high level of complexity with minimal production for an overall crisp and intimate sound."

— Kelsey Yule, Rice Radio Folio

"His [Kevin of Slug's Revenge] unique style of bluegrass folk punk is what turned me onto him at first. Mandolins and banjos don't typically catch my fancy, but watching his bluegrass-virtuoso finger style was just far too impressive to forget about."

— MIke V, I Found This Song In The Road
