"kicking up a similar cloud of dust as The Gun Club, Shame, The Birthday Party and Iceage, and while those are some lofty comparisons, Off Contact could at least hold their own with the best of ’em" - Yellow, Green, Red Blog

"perfect balance of post-punk and post-hardcore... sounds like it could easily be from a WIRE recording, combined with the song structures of FUGAZI. Elements of shoegaze and jazz filter through occasionally, allowing for shifts in tempo and weight." - SETH MCBURNEY (Maximum Rock and Roll)

"Off Contact’s seamless fusion of post-punk and shoegaze creates a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly unique. While they pay homage to the genres’ roots, they also bring a modern sensibility that feels distinctly their own." - Thoughts, Words Action Blog

"Good stuff from stem to stern that’s gonna sound even better to these ears once fall starts to morph into winter." –Jimmy Alvarado (RAZORCAKE)

"conjure up distortion curtains almost like The Jesus and Mary Chain once did and rely on this fascinating way of creating a manic driving beat using bass and drums. If someone had sold me Off Contact as Northampton, ca. 1982 (or NYC 1987), I believed it in the end and couldn't have been further away from the reality of Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 2022. A classic sound, detached from place and time" - Joachim Hiller (OX Fanzine)

Off Contact Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Post-punk you can trip out to. A primal scream into a throw pillow. Gothic shoegaze in steel-toed boots. The hangover crust of self-doubt in the corner of last night's clear eye, if the crust had a melody and the melody had teeth. Unsettling. Invigorating. Terrifying. Cathartic.
