“Coupled With [‘Too Many Creeps’’] Dancey Arrangement, Sley’s Monotonous Tone Signaled That Within The Tetras’ Newly Staked Safe Space, Misogyny Wasn’t A Threat: It Was Just A Boring, Predictable Damper On The Party. Like The Rest Of Their Peers, This Band Was Over It.” - Pitchfork (The History Of Feminist Punk In 33 Songs)

Youth.” - NY Post
