“The members of Maggot Twat sold bags of their pubic hair on tour. Yes, they successfully sold.”

“Other stunts they've pulled include launching chicken feet into the crowd, sawing instruments in half, and diving into trash cans full of broken glass. Even just listening to their ridiculously catchy gross-out metal is hazardous—I'm going to have "Raped By an Ape" (from the band's most recent album, 2006's 8-Bit Apocalypse) stuck in my head for weeks. Equally addictive are the lo-fi and sometimes hilariously filthy Flash games they host at their Web site.”

“We all know M.T. does amazing things no one else would dare attempt. Stuffed Animal O**y was insane. Heavy Metal Vomit Party owned. And now we have 8 Bit Apocalypse. The first track starts off slow and builds to hilarity and leds to a skit that explodes right into the title track. A re-recorded "Sexy Plants" finally makes its album debut and does so amazingly, as does "Hot Dogs, President Bush". I can't stop listening to "I Wanna Get Laid" amd "Kill the B**ch". The final track has to be my very favorite. It's hard. It's fast. It's Maggot T**t. 5'd.”

“The name, as memorable as it is, may have somehow slipped under your radar. Maggot Twat has come to be the best local metal band with a puppet drummer Chicago has ever known. With live shows that may include a sawzall eating through a guitar, bouncing ball sing-a-longs, and tin foil masks, Maggot Twat always makes sure you have a good time when you come see them. They play riff-heavy, fast metal laced with cartoon and video game soundbites. Their lyrics are akin to the funniest parts of a sexual deviant's personal journal. With two albums under their belt, "Stuffed Animal Orgy" and "8-Bit Apocalypse", the band is still pissing on metal's serious attitude in a manner that hasn't been celebrated since the days of S.O.D. and Anthrax.”
