Here's what the strangers say:

"SURE TO START A FIRE UNDER A CROWDS COLLECTIVE ASS." - G. Starkey New Times Magazine

"ONCE YOU'VE HEARD A FIGHTING CHANCE SONG, YOUíLL WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER, ONCE YOUíVE SEEN A FIGHTING CHANCE SHOW, YOU'LL NEED TO SEE ANOTHER. NO ONE CAN DENY THE GUT WRENCHING HONESTY OF THEIR LYRICS." -Sam-Las Cruces Sun News (Carlsbad, New Mexico)

"Fighting Chance renews the worship of Sublime, the real touring band. Ignoring the trust-fund-kid world of The Strokes, Fighting Chance cooks beans in the back of their van while touring the shit out of their amazing, dub-and-reggae-and-rock-and-alternative-inspired music. They rock everything from house parties to packed clubs and always have a good time rocking the hell out of everyone who crosses their paths." -BANDWEB.COM
