"The subject matter is dark and extremely reminiscent of those end credits pieces or the song someone’s listening to on the radio that actually has a theme that fits with the movie"

UK HORROR SCENE

"Wagner's sense for macabre drama and symphonic strong and lound crescendos unite forces with The Mugshots' dark, melodic Rock in an appealing way"

NORWAY ROCK MAGAZINE

"These guys are doing much more than just a straight Alice copy and are bringing in elements that are much more progressive in certain aspects, with the result being a controlled melodic rock EP with plenty of piano and twists"

GONZO MAGAZINE

"They know how to write attractive, classical rock songs with fine melodies and intelligent lyrics"

FABRICATIONS HQ

"A record that shows to the horror music community that there can be different idols apart from Misfits"

VIRUS MAGAZINE

"I would argue that some of Alice Cooper’s music leaned towards progressive rock"

MUSIC STREET JOURNAL

“You know, like that part in the spook-house where they suddenly turn out the lights and scream in your ear. Far out, man”

SLEAZEGRINDER

“The Mugshots are a great sample of the estranged spirit possessing dark Italian rock. I would say regardless of Genre the sound is brutally bombastic, rude, crass, and altogether beautiful. Definitely worth nabbing for fans of energetic and bizarre music”
