Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers
"Bought to Rot bounds around outside the boundaries and margins of punk while still bearing the unfiltered, playfully profane, overstuffed-with-ideas trademark of its leader." - NPR (First Listen)
"Bought To Rot seems like it should be Grace’s rootsy move. Instead, it’s mostly another album of bracing, urgent, hypercharged punk rock — not quite the same as a new Against Me! album, but not too terribly different, either. And since Against Me! rule, that’s a good thing." - Stereogum
"The Devouring Mothers are a looser unit than Against Me!, as evident in the folk-punk single “Apocalypse Now (& Later)” and the indie rock flight of “The Airplane Song”. Even if the music doesn’t have her other band’s thrash, Grace is still very much the sound of The Devouring Mothers, her distinctive delivery and wordy lyricism as poignant as ever." - Consequence of Sound
"Bought to Rot ranges from screaming blasts of punk to poppier tracks reminiscent of Ted Leo’s propulsive tunes to fuzzy, gritty rock that picks up where the Strokes left off on “Is This It." - The New York Times
"Grace parses long flights and love triangles on ‘The Airplane Song’, a swift pop-rocker built on stomping drums and breathless guitar." - Rolling Stone
"Explosive ... A biting, roaring punk rock taste of what's to come." - Billboard
"While some might expect a folkier, back-to-basics album from the songwriter, Bought To Rot finds Grace joining up with Willard and Hudson to create another racing, power-chord-driven punk record." - SPIN
"The result is an immensely liberating album that couldn’t care less what you think of it." - Paste
"Laura Jane Grace says this next album is her Scorpio record. She's certainly come out swinging that Scorpio bat around with ‘The Airplane Song’, a hot romp about a love triangle amid prescription drugs and shitty airline experiences. I'm ready to grab a glass of champagne, pull up a seat next to her, and have a serious talk about why dating anyone in a band is a terrible idea." - Refinery 29
"‘The Airplane Song’ is folky but not the way AM!’s early folk punk stuff was, and it’s keeping our anticipation for this album high." - Brooklyn Vegan
