Willamette Week Reviews Ozarks' Latest Album!

"Augspurger’s musical project, Ozarks, evidences a similar relationship with the past.

It was their first group vacation after eight years of touring and cutting albums like 2011’s critically lauded Wicked Will." Read the rest here.

SYFFAL'S Reviews Hot Panda's "Go Outside".

"I get the distinct feeling that some people aren't going to get Hot Panda just because they aren't filling a mold or a cast of a band someone else has already sucked off, but what I'm pulling off these assbags after spending time with the album Go Outside is they're as eager to create sass and intuberance in the listener as they are molding compunction and shabangpussshits as well."
