SORRY STATE RECORDS says:
"After an excellent demo, the debut LP from this Chicago punk band. Our take: Debut vinyl from this
Chicago punk band. I liked their demo tape from 2016 so I was excited to hear this, and it does not disappoint. While Porno Glows
features the former vocalist of Big Zit, I wouldn’t describe them as a hardcore band. Instead, they remind me of second-wave UK punk
bands like the Users, the Cortinas, or the Killjoys. Like those bands, Porno Glows sounds like a rock band playing straightforward, high-energy
rock-and-roll (rather than any particular punk sub-genre), and also like those bands there’s a near-total lack of pretension in the
way Porno Glows present themselves. They just sound like a band making songs, and if you take the time to listen to them closely, you’ll
hear that those songs are superb. The riffs are often simple, but they put together the songs in clever and engaging ways with great bass
lines and memorable lyrics. It’s a shame that Porno Glows don’t seem to have a clear stylistic home in the 2019 punk scene, because
they’re making punk rock that sounds timeless."


BANDCAMP DAILY says:
"Chicago’s The Pornography Glows are back at long last, with two new tracks that show the trio to be as
bratty as ever. Featuring straightforward, driving drums, strong, new-wavey basslines and jangly, post-punk riffs, this recording is a bit
cleaner, with denser compositions than those captured on the band’s 2016 demo. Vocalist Kevin Taylor’s ability to veer between vocal
styles helps distinguish the Porno Glows from their minimal contemporaries like Gen Pop or Marbled Eye. On “Pleasures,”
Taylor turns on a dime from deadpan spoken word to a snarling taunt: “Why don’t you say things more? I don’t know,” he shouts, tacitly expressing the
difficulty of communicating one’s desires."


FEEL IT RECORDS says:
"RECOMMENDED! Vinyl debut for this Chicago three piece after a much-hyped demo from a coupla years
back. The Pornography Glows play a stripped down and trebly brand of punk/DIY rock. One of the only recent bands to legitimately
remind me of Big Lizard In My Backyard era Dead Milkmen, mixed with a bit of that jerky Urinals/100 Flowers swing, and the snotty
nihilism of the Feederz. Seven tracks on this EP, all rocking and clocking in under the two minute mark. Porno Glows are about as arty as
they are straightforward, which is a great combination in my books...a band that isn't attempting to play beyond their abilities but also
has something cool to add to the conversation."
