Press

“Transatlantic Drag, by contrast, may be remembered for showing more of the aggressive side of “aggressively Midwestern"...From the outset it rips through one all-out rocker after another.”

— Chris DeRosier, TAGSGF

“The opening band, The Bootheel, played a loud set, which is their wont. They play a mix of punk, country, rock, and roots music to make a delicious glaze of goodness. (Not coincidentally, they make their own barbecue sauce. I kid you not. I bought some. It's delicious.). The band describes their sound as "aggressively Midwestern." It's an apt description and it makes you proud to be from the same area and culture that produces such amazing music”

— Punk On Deck

“Gold Tops by The Bootheel: Is it any surprise that an album named for the lids of Busch beer cans would be one hell of a drinking record? From the boot-stomping opener “Meg” to the howling closer “King of Hell,” Gold Tops delivers one rough and rocking song after another from the dry, dusty roads that take you away from day-to-day life and toward your favorite fishing hole. We were left with one question after listening: How does any drum kit survive the pounding Warren Sandwell gives it? The volume of the drums is almost impossible to ignore, and we have a feeling it wasn’t turned up in the mix during recording.”

— Chris DeRosier, TheFourFour
