"This shaggy Brooklyn trio fronted by the guitarist and vocalist Brad Shanks and his sister, the bassist and vocalist Courtney Shanks, make hip-shaking rock with a touch of Midwestern-gothic twang" - NY TIMES
“Got a few nice slats of vinyl from Brookyln’s cunning Social Registry label. First up is the eponymous debut by BLOOD ON THE WALL, a trio who remind me a bit of what a collaboration between late ‘80s Yo La Tengo, Galaxie 500 and the Gibson Bros. might have sounded like. Which means, I guess, that they rock in a sorta hard, smart and guitar-y way but remain as soft French center and have very dark teeth as well.” -Byron Coley/Thurston Moore; Arthur Magazine.
“With a buzz that can be heard in the afterlife BOTW have successfully livened up the NYC rock scene in a sincere and joyous way.” – Tokion Magazine Review July/August 2004
