“HillBlocksView delivers on some solidly produced post-punk/pop-rock that is heavy without being overwhelming; full of riffage and throat screams and off tempo turns, but also intricate instrumentations and vocal harmonies.” - Joshua Teehee
— Bandgeeeek!
“Their songs balance and mesh between weight & melody” - Leandro Vianna
