« 7 inches of talent. » - Abus Dangereux, France
« I would give my left nut to see these guys on stage!»
« One of the great things about punk rock is that it has stood up to whatever outside forces working against it, whether it be corporate infiltration or war. In Croatia, punk rock still survives no matter what obstacles get in way. Here they explore some of what they are feeling...spilling their guts out...» Flipside, USA
« The return of band that tickled my fancy some years ago and really liking it quite lot. Overflow is ready to grasp our shores with more huge tablespoons of good 'old punkrock fury and sweat. You can almost taste each song as if it were a chocolate chip cookie! Seriously, great songs...» - Flipside, USA
« Overflow plays great punk rock with some mixture of sixtees beat. They managed to keep me in good mood, all 18 songs. Band is coming from Croatia and that fact should not apply against them, because this what Overflow offers can stood up to every USA major record album.»
« Overflow kicks ass and they are doing it pretty autonomously. They don't follow trends, yet they developed their own style....Overflow has good sense for humour what is shown by their texts, concept and the story about the unbreastfedity.»
« Overflow is, and that you can notice it immediately, still band with lot of sense of humour. As when speaking about music, nothing changed, they are still on track of political incorrect punk rock ala Pleasure Fuckers, Dwarves and NOFX, somewhere more melodic punk rock, somewhere more rough and rock and roll. » - OX, Germany
« Sound like Wedding Present fronted by Jello Biafra with the speed driving melodies...Their Everything track suggest prime killer Pixies. Nice.»
- Melody Maker Magazine, United Kingdom
« This record was quite a pleasant surprise. This croatian band plays great high energy punk rock. Songs bursting with passion, power and melody.»
- Maximum RocknRoll ( USA )
« The way Overflow creates golden fast pop melodies is still fascinating. As well as before 15 years, Overflow can clear floor with every pop-punk or punk rock band...So, Croatians be happy because you can listen and see Overflow live when you want to and be proud because such a great band is coming from Croatia. » - Jutarnji list, Croatia
« Congratulations for choosing Overflow for Pixies support band, because they completed their task perfectly. They played excellent and sounded fantastic. Their music is fast, powerful and catchy. Simple, it is hard to resist their songs.» - Plagij.at, Macedonia
« Overflow are full of energy and there is successful career in front of them.” - 24 UR, Slovenia
« Technical and instrumental perfection or as how would Milan Kundera say «The Unbearable Lightness» of performing. They showed their charisma. Many were fascinated and thrilled with the way that Overflow played that concert.» - Glas Istre, Croatia
« Club pulped to hot pot, during entire concert the heat atmosphere was on. Furious power of excellent guitar, melodic bass, unbelievable concise drummer and great vocal who is in the same time great showman. Every time boys surprise me with their ingenuity, concepts, arrangements and above all with positive energy that are spreading to all presents.»
