"Up first is WARRIOR TRIBES playing fast hardcore in the style of bands like SICKOIDS but taking a ride through the influences of STATE and NEGATIVE APPROACH while staying true to their Chicago school with the grit of that city in the mix. Next is DISTRACT who play more 80’s style hardcore, this time reminding me of SLUGGO but probably with dirtier trousers. Hints of a less poppy ZERO BOYS in the vocals too." Artcore #32

"Two impressive hardcore punk acts from Chicago. DISTRACT kick it off with a tight hardcore fury. Their formula is aggression first, hooks later. I am loving this vocalist, calm and powerful, a force to be reckoned with. I could definitely go for a couple more tracks! These two songs alone are divergent enough to warrant an entire LP. WARRIOR TRIBES is ugly hardcore with a groove. There are some really catchy riffs here that let go for a little bit, all the while being a punk song. Both sides are memorable and leave me wanting more! Not that it makes any difference, or has anything to do with this review, but I love how WARRIOR TRIBES uses that classic 80's HC Friz Quadrata typeface on this. (Jason)" Maximum Rocknroll #374

"Warrior Tribes play stomping hardcore with some gang vocals scattered throughout, influenced by New York hardcore and oi with some of the gnarlier modern hardcore sounds of bands like Fucked Up. The lead singer’s super masculine vocal would fit well into the aforementioned categories, but lyrics to “Flats” call out entitled meathead behavior and bros who have to start fights to feel strong while at the same time playing up a victim mentality. Good form! With only three songs, Warrior Tribes show much more promise as a lyrically and socio-politically sound band. I’m not into Distract as much, but they put in some pretty solid, politically-relevant hardcore with lots of fast to slow tempo changes. However, both sides suffer from atrocious sound quality; another thing that sucks about the cassette trend is its blurring of the line between a demo and an official release. On that note, let’s just call this a demo, because these are serious slop recordings. Bands to watch, regardless. –Craven Rock (Self-released)" Razorcake #83
