"One of the most enjoyably indefinable bands making a racket today, Boxcar Satan makes a freaky, scary, Tom Wait-sy mix of gothic roots music and late â70s punk rock. The band must been seen, and experienced, to be believed." -- Houston Chronicle, Jan. 6, 2006

"This Texas band propogates a righteous, too-little-heard strain of sounds from the "new weird America." Muddy Waters and Bob Dylan have their proper place among the influences here, but so do Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits and Pere Ubu (as well as the Birthday Party, being honorary Americans for this purpose)." -- Chicago Reader, Oct. 15, 2004

"The blues may have been born in the Mississippi Delta, but Robert Johnson's first recordings in 1936 were made at San Antonio's Gunter Hotel. With their third full-length outing, SA's Boxcar Satan pays a twisted sort of homage to their fair city's musical legacy with a slam-bang concoction of blues and avant-punk distilled to its most potent essence yet. The trio flails about with the tight-fisted ferocity of a Jesus Lizard or Pere Ubu, but what really distinguishes Boxcar Satan is the gravelly growl of vocalist/guitarist Sanford Allen. Allen bellows like the progeny of Captain Beefheart or Tom Waits, and he does so without it devolving into a fallow affectation." -- Austin Chronicle, Feb. 27, 2004
