Treason to Believe! Melody Maker Review of Death To Traitors

What: Review of Death to Traitors in Melody Maker

When: Aug. 26, 1995

So What:

• “Personal betrayals are the most savage of all, and the most savagely received. Mark Hennessy, with the unflinching ability of the empathist, squats in the head of the badly done by and howls like a demon.”

• “Hennessy’s method vocals – afflicted bellows and searing melodies – and Grant Fitch’s lump-hammer guitar, suddenly and plaintively melting into sweetness, can, over the course of an hour, prove overbearing even for an admirer like me. But dip in among the best of Death to Traitors and Paw reveal themselves – again – as rockers of rare and unbending emotional force.”
