"POISON IDEA and SEPTIC DETH melded together with a strong D Beat raw punk backround. Good job taking all my favorite genres and putting it on one demo. Raw punk, hardcore, thrash! Sounds like a bad combination, but I assure you it's not. I'm talking thrashy in the vein of '80s greats like SYSTEMATIC DETH. It's perfect. Demo cover with a weed leaf and anarchy sign. What a fucking solid demo! Bring us more, New Jersey!" (Amelia) - MAXIMUM ROCK 'N ROLL
"Pure chaos. Shattered chords choked out of guitars, giving friction-filled birth to solos that scrape and cut. Drums shoving everything forward. Bass crawling into your gut. Vocals like a desperate warning. Must play again." –MP Johnson - RAZORCAKE
"From New Brunswick, NJ, comes Soft Dov with an all out assault on your senses. Totally fast, loud, wild and to the point on this release with ten tracks in just over eleven minutes! A great d-beat sound on here played with all the intensity you need with an old school feel that makes this stand out from the pack. This makes you want to play it loud and get out the combat boots to thrash around the house and fuck shit up! The production is pretty good, clear for being self released and the playing is tight, no lyrics included in this, but the really cool part is that you can get the digital download for free! I would go look for this on cassette to keep it old school, but go get the free download and play the hell out of this one." (Rick E) -PROFANE EXISTENCE
"Man, this is a ripper if there ever was one, almost as if it had been recorded during a show, these guys tear through ten songs in just over eleven minutes! The intense d-beat mayhem is to be expected when you realize these Garden State crushers have played with such notable outfits like Kicking Spit, Pregnant, A.N.S., Mirrors & Wires, Seasick, and Down In Flames.
Heavily laden d-beat goodness and extreme aggression, there is a taste of the oldschool which permeates the album like the blood stains on a old Huntington Beach dancefloor.
Ian Thompsen is the pipes behind this, screaming it out with killer punk defiance and crust growls; hints of Ian MacKaye and Bill Damon coming through in his unique blend. The guitar on this sounds, at times, like it's channeling the spirit of Greg Ginn, even thought the maestro ain't dead. Sick bass lines, pounding beats round up the formula of full bore mosh madness.
Söft Dov really unleashes a wall of unbridled fury as fast as the fists in a b-grade kung fu flick...smashing good fun for all will be had.
The nice thing about this, is the album is free! So, what does that mean? If you haven't guessed yet, then you are one stupid, stingy-assed bastid! You need to download, jam it, get on over to their FB page and click that little like button and start yer tongue a wagging...tell everyone you know!" - (Rene) THRASH HEAD
