Praise for Beach Slang
"With their combination of jagged hooks and pointed tales of reckless abandon, it’s hardly surprising that many cite the band as the spiritual descendants of the almighty Replacements." - Spin
"The production is raw enough for the guitar chords to slash and burn, yet clean enough for the words that are so integral to this band’s attack, to be understood and felt. Like the music of the Replacements, the melodies creep up on you and by the second time through, each one has a chorus that’s tough and memorable. " - American Songwriter
"Only a year after its bottle rocket of a debut album, “The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us,” the Philadelphia punks in Beach Slang return with another almost-too-aptly-named LP, “A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings.” It is exactly that: basement-rattling in volume and overflowing with chest-bursting songs called “Hot Tramps,” “Wasted Daze of Youth” and “The Perfect High.” Truth in advertising." - New York Times
