“Blessedly, the band’s music lives up to the dizzying genre-swirl of its haute couture. The band’s raw-and-dirty Korn-funk rhythm skank interweaves real old school hippity-hop style rapping with deranged shrieks and chunky, nearly garage-rock fuzz riffs.”
– JULIAN TOWERS, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
“The result is a glorious hodgepodge of spitfire bars, chaotic melodies and bombastic riffs calibrated to singe your eardrums while simultaneously channeling the multitudes of the modern queer experience.”
– ZACK RUSKIN, SF STANDARD
“And not only is this collective one-of-a-kind in terms of its member makeup -- it also breaches uncharted territory in its defiance of adapting to mainstream concepts of queer music and art. At the same time, though, it demonstrates how welcomingly diverse the concept of queerness is and can be.”
–J.L. ODOM, SFGATE
“COMMANDO sets out to be the queer role models the band members never had growing up, and at Bottom of the Hill that vision came to life. Trans and gender non-conforming teens with Xs on their hands, too young to drink, moshed in the front to lyrics about punching Nazis. And after witnessing seven diverse, skilled musicians owning their personal power on stage, everyone else set off into the night carrying a little piece of COMMANDO’s boldness with them.”
