Reviews

"[a] barrage of gloomy, dirge-laden riffery" "Their dual vocal attack sidles up like L7 does Weedeater via a huge dose of Harvey Milk (check out Cutter's Choice) while Teutonic Dyselxia is from the same slow-pumping vein as Burning Witch with the 'harmonies' delivered like a Valiumed-up-to-the-eyeballs Kim Deal. Nice."- Rock Sound Magazine

"Some serious girl rocking in a shockingly male-dominated genre, Undersmile prefer slow and spooky over fast and brutal. Imagine Linda Blair of The Exorcist fronting Melvins or Flipper. In a cave. At midnight. So seriously sludgy you have to wash the grime off your skin afterward and while they may take things very, very slowly, like an oil tanker, they're unstoppable." - Nightshift Magazine

"A Sea Of Dead Snakes, is an intoxicating slab of doomy-sludgy heaviness which is absolutely mandatory for any swamper."

"Melodies are sinister but infectious as they possess a distinct groove. Undersmile make a haunting, crushing blend of heavily distorted, psychedelic-tinged, sometime dronish doom-sludge metal variably sharing features with the tunes provided by other swamp-hosted bands like Drone Throne, Wizard Smoke, Dopefight, Ultralord, Lords of Doubt, etc." - Sludge Swamp

"Undersmile (are) a four-piece playing something the experts call “sludgecore;” indeed, it is, but it’s their own very singular brand. They show the expected hallmarks of this genre, the big death-march riffs and the slow but unrelenting rhythm section laying waste to all in its way. Their biggest asset however, is the haunting harmony vocals from Hel Sterne and Taz Corona-Brown; the way their voices drift together is somewhat enchanting, as if two damned souls are entwined in some kind of slow motion combat. Contains unadulterated Doom." - Music In Oxford
