Review

Spin (p.106) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hen Dan Fetherston's martial drums and Adam Rizer and Michael Pace's choral vocals begin the slow rumble of 'Children's Crusade,' the moment feels as revelatory as it is cathartic."
Alternative Press (p.150) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Brooklyn's Oxford Collapse cruise effortlessly from shoegazey dream pop to classic college rock to Schlitz-soaked Americana."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.50) - "BITS is conservative but not affected and this allows them to unleash the odd catchy tune when they feel like it."
Paste (magazine) (p.65) - "On 'Electric Arc,' two high-strung tenors swap manic lines over a wanton throb with silvery guitar riffs, while 'Vernon-Jacson' and other songs feature noodly post-Pavement arpeggios."

Title Note

For BITS, its 2008 sophomore outing on Sub Pop, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock ensemble Oxford Collapse offers up a suprisingly varied yet focused set of quirky, jittery rock. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Michael Pace and vocalist/bassist Adam Rizer, who often sing in uninhibited unison (see the cheeky, raucous "Young Love Delivers"), the group nods to a number of renowned 1980s and `90s indie/alt acts--Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr., R.E.M., and Husker Du to name a few--while retaining its own youthful charm. Though jaded rock diehards might be somewhat resistant to OC's playful songs, those who weren't around when those bands were in their heyday are likely to be more readily impressed.
