"...Hype is empty without quality tunes to back it up, though. Fortunately, Gyrate Plus meets expectations. On these early recordings, the band still sounds pretty harsh, especially compared to their colder, distant, still-fun followup Chomp, but underneath Randy Bewley's wall-o'-noise guitars and Vanessa Briscoe Hay's occasionally shredding vocals exists a fine, funky place. Maybe it starts with drummer Curtis Crowe--dude locks into a nervous yet steady beat and keeps it there on tracks like "Dub" and "Driving School." Bassist Michael Lachowski often holds it down as well, finding his own groove while Bewley explores the space and Hay shrieks and wails."   - punknews.org
