Reviews:

"Sterling audacity - the monochrome, semi-industrial rhythms and doom-laden guitar of Quarter Caste and Protocol sound irrevocably 1979" (Q Magazine, 07/2004)

"At times truly riveting" (Erasing Clouds, 07/2004)

"The hour's body of work that this unique collective have constructed puts the relatively lacklustre efforts of men half their age to shame - 4/5" (Leonard's Lair, 05/2004)

"A powerful and creative new effort, built mostly on whiplash rhythms, stinging guitars, Hempsall's expressive vocals and Massey's strategic, live-sound production" (Whisperin' & Hollerin', 05/2004)

"Retro modern rock - imagine lethargic Fugazi with an ARP Odyssey synth and the inability to perceive time and space, and you've got Crispy Ambulance. A bold, spirited album" (Outburn, 07/2004)
