Praise for "Non-Neutered 1%":
"Audiences will be astounded by the combination of styles detonating across the eleven tracks, all the while, with a weirdness injected into the atmosphere that becomes likeable, even addictive at times. What may come across as novel speaks with a deeper resonance, and The Allegations have no problem or fear about projecting the point they want to make."
-Kevin Burke, The Big Takeover
"...inventive, borderline crazed, intelligent in the way Tom Waits would be if he mixed some bath salts into his bourbon."
-Dave Cantrell, Senior Editor, Stereo Embers Magazine
"A charmingly ramshackle blend of indie rock and low-fi synth stomp..."
-Alex Green, Stereo Embers Magazine (for Track of the Day column on "Bedside Manners")
"When's the last time you felt slightly disconcerted by an Indie track?"
-Amelia Vandergast, ANR Factory
"The eleven tracks comprise at least nineteen songs that are interesting, challenging, sometimes perplexing, and worth hearing...with ‘Love Is a Howling Moon,’ The Allegations look to our moon and see, not a symbol of affection, but Love itself."
-Reverb Raccoon
"You will be mesmerised by the strange and unusual charm of this undefinable music."
