Loud And Quiet
The group's relentless energy oozes out of each and every song. From the ’60s psychedelic bop of ‘Bang of the Bongs’ through to ‘Taking the Present for Granted’ you’re taken away from reality and sent hurdling into the fun zone

Uncut
Even when they're singing about the horrors of nuclear holocaust - as they do on the Hendrix-ish "Mushroom Bomb" - they can't help but sound quite addictively cheerful. Print edition only

Northern Transmissions
The True Story of Bananagun slowly creeps into your blood. It’s accessible and fun, so the first listens are easy. But as you listen more, you begin to appreciate the different grooves, between songs, but also within them. It’s an album that’s tough to categorize which is what makes it enjoyable

All Music
Like so many 21st century psych-inspired bands, Bananagun lean awfully heavily into their love of a very specific era, but they've nonetheless made an exceedingly fun record with plenty of craft behind it
