Press Quotes
Like the eponymous Jack Kerouac’s beat generation literature, “Cold and Distant, Not Loving” is the musical equivalent of spontaneous prose – honest, passionate and never forced. Kerouac play a variant of hardcore that is as imaginative as it is brutal and unforgiving, sounding like the stream of consciousness of four talented musicians beginning at some predisposed sound and then diverging in multiple directions to create a maelstrom of noise on par with the proprietors of orderly discord: The Chariot. – Rock Freaks
“Kerouac are filthy, vile, disgusting, nasty and all the more beautiful because of it. Fusing an unrelenting force of chaos with sleight of hand melody Kerouac are one of the most promising acts revealed this year. 4/5″ – Sputnik Music
“There is nothing sloppy at all about Kerouac, everything is just as the band intended it to sound. The rage and aggression are evident, but it’s mastered and controlled to create truly awesome pieces of music. 5/5″ – Alter The Press
“Cold And Distant, Not Loving blasts through seven tracks in seventeen minutes and it never stops moving. It’s furious, heavy and, to be honest, makes Gallows sound pathetic. 9/10″ – The 405
“Once Coverge’s noise war finally tears the Earth’s crust wide open, the magma that pours out will sound like Kerouac.” - Thrash Hits
