"Cranks up a punky guitar frenzy...fueled by wounded fury."
- New York Times

"...a full on, bar-chording, larynx-scraping, amp-abusing garage-rock band."
- The Village Voice

"intense and direct, centering on Hersh's revved-up electric-guitar playing and cathartic vocals."
- The Philadelphia Inquirer

"50 Foot Wave trades broad-shouldered hooks for 100-proof propulsion, each song colliding into the next with the deceptive force of surf pounding a fast-eroding beach. If the unified front of drummer Rob Ahlers and Muses bassist Bernard Georges is the monster set that slams you to the bottom, then Hersh's grainy snarl is the sand in your shorts."
- Magnet

"50 Foot Wave is a tight punk trio in the classic sense, a blend of feeling and volume, harsh and immediate, too raging to fall into minimalist patterns... a roar of churning, frayed riffs and Hersh's ragged wail of primal screams, dove into its thundering songs of angst and release, for a crowd of true believers that seemed to understand."
- Los Angeles Times
