“Anybody who listens to Dust Biters is not just going to hang on the edge of their seat, they're going to be blown completely out of it.

Several songs remind me of the early heyday of Dave Grohl and company.

It's a melodic hardcore metal sound… alcohol-fueled, lightning-fast, proto-punk.”

- Tim Lamping, Local Loft

"Mixing a bunch of interesting influences into their sound...Dust Biters is an energetic force to be reckoned with."

- Erik Oldman, The Rock In Chicago Show

“Chicago’s Dust Biters is a flammable mix of At the Drive In style post-hardcore and straight ahead hard rock riffs (and cowbell) that will light up your weekend.

It’s loud, it’s fast and it vibes at the intersection of ambitious punk, greasy metal and righteous hardcore with a sound that we’re dubbing post-sleazecore.

Suitable for opening up the pit, or standing in the back of the room with a cold one raised while you head bang un-ironically.”

- Postcard Elba

“‘Guilt’, is a viscerally maniacal feat of tightly off-kilter ingenuity...

In the same vein as Against Me!, Dust Biters heighten their sound to the nth degree through a combination of instrumental prowess and bleeding post-hardcore heart.”

- Amelia Vandergast, A&R Factory

"Our twist on this traditional sour German wheat beer that begins with coriander and Himalayan salt, then pineapple juice and habanero peppers for a kick
- an allusion to the band’s penchant for musically blending the spicy and sweet."
