  1. 8.7 |   Paste Magazine

    The results, especially when they give equal time to his natural charm and knob-twiddler Bobby Harlow’s clearly natural talent (“Keep On Movin’”), are nothing short of spectacular

  2. 8.0 |   The Fly

    Lackadaisical bong-hitting punk
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Not to make too much of it, but King Tuff reinjects rock and roll with a dancing heart
    Read Review

  4. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    Completely free of arty abstraction, the good parts of King Tuff were designed with maximum impact in mind
    Read Review

  5. 7.6 |   Beats Per Minute

    Essentially a straightforward indie rock record
    Read Review

  6. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    The songs are largely simple, quick-fire ear pleasers. The record has been made fast too, you can hear the recordings speeding up and slowing down like real live takes

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Does everything a straightforward rock album should. It’s catchy, instantly memorable, and — most importantly — fun

  8. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Calling on a series of well worn rock staples, King Tuff is a fine album that pushes no boundaries, but is quite content to get the party started

    Greasy, catchy garage-pop
    Read Review

  10. 6.5 |   Prefix

    An album that will mostly make you smile because of how guileless it is about its love of rock and roll

  11. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    There's a variety of pleasure points waiting to be triggered here
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    It’s pleasant, catchy, fluid stuff; modishly lo-fi and easy on the ears, but void of any real surprise
