Reagan National Crash Diet bang out a real dinger and throw a hot recording over it all with a thick layer of scuzz for a really impressive track. Tight, rough, and those infectious male/female vocals hook me every time. I'm really let down that there's only one song! Decibators are a little more on the Misteaters tip, and have a solid rocknroll mash to 'em. Throaty, balls-out and threatening. — Horizontal Action
Each band brings one jam and both jams are raw and stripped down to the bare minimum. Reagan National Crash Diet brings a stripped-down pop punk rocker that contains more rock than pop Decibators rock one loud and really straight-up rock song similar to something AC/DC would do if they were born in this era just some loud music to slam your head against the wall to. — Invisible Youth
Decibators live up to the billing as a blast of r-n-r dynamite. "Burning Under The Sun" is full-on jackhammer rock of rugged high quality. Think Supersuckers times ten. RNCD's is sparse punk rock with a nasty political edge. — Shredding Paper
Two Chicago Bands, one down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll taste. Reagan National Crash Diet plays the kind of music I'd listen to while chugging Pabst (if I drank beer). As for the Decibators, they're raw and strong straightforward rock. Neither is pretty or groundbreaking, but it's a fun listen. —Punk Planet
Decibators (spelled "deciBators" on the label: a hint) rock straight up, in the American style of many Scandinavian bands of today; easy enough. RNCD (spelled "RNCD" on the label: an acronym), however, present significant problems for the seasoned pigeonholer (at least one who tries to avoid using the word "quirky"): they've got a sort of post-hardcore (circa '85) sound with repetitive dual-gender vocals, repetitive bass line, guitar that goes for the head rather than the gut and slightly offbeat drums. I can't think of anyone to compare them to: I've forgotten every record like this a week after I ceased to own it. Which is to say, it's pretty good on some level. — Razorcake
