 “…the tunes they churn out here are full-fledged, fast, dark, and nasty… with a murderous groove and a vocalist more used to spitting black metal brimstone than dopesick bile.” – Noisey

“CLASSHOLE is here to punch you in the fucking face and leave you in an alley somewhere. At least that’s the vibe I get from the band’s self-titled debut…” – Metal Injection

“The music is suicidal, destructive nonchalance writhing in pain and apathy, all trapped in the same moment. CLASSHOLE have made a soundtrack to a descent into despair.” – New Noise

“The entire album sounds like the derailment of a freight train coming through a republican party parade.” – The Sludgelord

“…sick, dirty, anarchic, caustic….” – The Examiner

“…pure, unadulterated anger….” – Rock Shock Pop

 “…fifteen tracks of angry, fast-paced punk laced with old-school hardcore breakdowns… There is no poetry, no pomp and certainly no circumstance. Merely an album of raw anthems replete with sing-along aspects and curb stomping brutality. The revolution is now and the soundtrack to the black bandana faced throwing of molotov cocktails will be CLASSHOLE.” – Nine Circles

In commemoration of its long-anticipated detonation, today Vice’s music portal, Noisey, is streaming the fifteen track bruiser in its rancorous entirety noting, “CLASSHOLE is a supergroup, sure, and most of its members have done time in sludge or progressive metal bands, but the tunes they churn out here are full-fledged, fast, dark, and nasty… with a murderous groove and a vocalist more used to spitting black metal brimstone than dopesick bile. The band’s first full-length record just dropped, and we’re devilishly delighted to be streaming it here on Noisey.”
