Reviews–
BlackDots split: "The Black Dots kick off this split EP with their original contribution, Bittersweet Though Mostly Bitter, this is a fine slab of upbeat punk rock that is followed by Diets For The Dying, their cover of the Gentlemen Prefer Blood track that continues the promising start made by the opening track. Gentlemen Prefer Blood immediately return the favour by covering the Black Dots track Everybody’s Got One, this side of the split has a harder more frantic edge and Gentlemen Prefer Blood provide the split’s finest moment with their new offering, Stretch Remedy." "Split singles are often a tale of two halves, and this latest offering from La Escalera Records is no exception, Black Dots provided a fine two tracks of rousing punk rock on the a-side, but for me it’s the flip side with Gentlemen Prefer Blood‘s contribution that has edged it for me on this release, but it must said that it was a close run thing. This is a damn fine introduction to two new, at least to me, bands..."—AJ Phink, The Punk Site
Hands Like Bricks split: "To that point, Gentlemen Prefer Blood are one of those groups that has cracked the code and crafted a melodically catchy and lyrically engaging sound in the pop punk genre, a genre which I love, but which I think offers a challenge for being inventive within. They carry the pop in their songwriting sensibility, and the punk in the look-life-in-the-eyes effect. On "Rochester", my favorite of their two tracks, Todd Smailes sings of "keeping guarded in the underground/saving smarts for the showdown" in a gravely tone set over inviting palm mutes and, in seconds, your ears are met with a rise of vocal harmonies that somehow make the song arrive both emotionally and sonically, a rare accomplishment in just over two minutes."—Jim Joyce, Razorcake
Bonsai split: "...Gentlemen Prefer Blood, hailing from LA, while a little less in-your-face powerful than Bonsai, make up for it in the maturity and complexity of the songs. I hear multiple influences here, ranging from Social D to Husker Du, yet the overall result is somewhat unique, and no other band sounds quite like this. I particularly like the vocals from Todd Smailes, featured on the first of the band’s two tracks. They’re solid, on key, and with just the right amount of gravel.”—Paul Silver, Jersey Beat
