What folks have said about FIGHT AMP’s “Hungry For Nothing”:

‘Fight Amp stand out with metallic atmosphere’ – 7.8/10 Pitchfork

‘Fight Amp offers up healthy portions of distorted bass lines, abrasive guitars and pummeling drumming, making Hungry for Nothing…one of the first great records of 2008.’ – 8/10 Lambgoat.com

‘Fast, furious, and noisy! This band is flying the tattered noise rock flag high and doing it right!!’ – 8/10 Decibel

‘This impressive and dangerously out of control debut rumbles ahead like the monster train on the cover of Orgasmatron’ – 4/5 Revolver
