Review from Melbourne zine Salty And Delicious #4 (1995): ...At this point the core membership of Mr Bastard suddenly rushed the stage for an uninvited (but welcome) set of their obnoxious 3-chord punk-rawk. And I loved it! Which surprised the hell out of me. Grigor looks (and rocks) like a throwback from the late ‘70s (this is mingled with a sort of Frankenstein’s monster kind of appeal) and despite my feelings on his literary excursions I hafta admit that Stumpy is a sight to behold on the drums. Sadly they were kicked off stage before they could cover “Bad Politics”. (Richard Salty)
