“In a world surrounded by everyday chaos, Cheezface provides a cathartic experience both live and through audio that transcends the ordinary. Bryan's experience with sound design is like Bukowski remixing Fantomas through a filter produced by Einstein. Despondent glitches beating against pounding bass rhythms provides the soundtrack of southern life to the most powerful extent. After watching one of his shows, you will not only be overwhelmed by the sense of relativity to your own personal life, but the enhancement of chaos that you engage in on a weekly basis. So, spin the latest Cheezface record if you want to enhance the consciousness that brings forth the power of glory that is not derivative of most of the computer music coming out of what many call the "scene" today. ”

"Like an electronic Naked City. Blasts of beautifully intense jazz, punk, and grind."

Randy Garcia - Nophi Records

"One-man grindcore trio Cheezface rides in from the capital city to bring a set somewhere between Napalm Death and Horrornoise."

The Nightlight

"Fast, cheap, and out-of-control: Thats the MO of self-made techno-punks like new Raleigh resident Cheezface. He fillets beats, fuzz, and samples (like choice bits from Mr. Show and Feriis Bueller's Day Off), making him a party-throwing power electronics dude in the league of Jason Forrest."

"What I really like about the work of Cheezface is the way he combines the themes of bodily waste and mutilation that were staple elements of '80s US underground greats such as Big Black, Butthole Surfers and the Pixies, with the manipulation of electronic beats and noise of a Squarepusher or Knifehandchop. "Americas Doctor" is like "22 Going on 23" remixed by Aphex Twin, "Heat of the Bowel Movement" twists a sample taken from some early 80s stadium rockers (Asia? Yes?) and grinds it into the dust. Then it goes back and gives it another kicking just to make sure, finely balancing noise and tunefulness, humour and disgust. With Gilli Milligan from noise-rockers Torpid frantically recording dozens of great new electronic tracks in his Brussels bolthole perhaps it's time to start joining the dots. 1980s = recession, cold war, right-wing liberal governments, hardcore music; 2008 = more of the same, but with 20 years of club culture in between. Time to get on the dancefloor and SCREAM!"

"Cheezface makes noise for dancing—spastic, crazyface dancing."

"sounds like the berzerker and the locust made babies."

“Lots of junk psychosis noise swill dementia. But it’s her split tape with freak loop weirdos Cheezface that really caught our attention. A highly contagious flow of sense bliss destruction.”
