Review: The Drafted "Killing Spree for Democracy" demo
"Modern hardcore with an acute dollop of jazz leanings that would make Dillinger Escape Plan and The Refused take notice. Plus, their socio-political tirades are caustic and barbed, taking aim at U.S. foreign policy (Iran), the governator of Texas (Rick Perry), economic woe, and low-wage job hell (Wal-mart). This links them to earlier era agit-punkers like Dead Kennedys and MDC as well. A finely-honed effort from chemical alley youth that started back in 2003 and survived much flux."
-D. Ensminger, Ozone City Outrage

Another quote from Mr. Ensminger, posted on Facebook January 14th 2012:
"The Drafted are a real gem -- an uncanny blend of nimble jazz, ferociously keen politics, and punk rock nerve, a true hybrid of the genre that needs more much love..."
