Check out what The Punk Archive had to say about the new Broadcaster EP!
LP Hoopla covered Pre-Fest and Fest and they had some nice things to say about Astpai.
I'm not entirely sure why ska-punk gets a bad rap these days. I've always been down with a little ska thrown into my punk rock every now and then. However, I can proudly admit I've never gone as far as wearing a goofy top hat or baggy purple overalls to see a matinee show. Perhaps the majority of th.

A little review/write up on Astpai's "Crohnicles"
Plow United / Marching Band / Jump Start Records If you’re skeptical of bands that break up, take long hiatuses, and then reform to do reunion tours, you should be. It’s a terrible trend that too many bands are cashing in on. And for the most part, they end terribly. The band that comes back is never the one you remember. They’re usually slower, lamer, and more concerned with mortgage payments than when they left. So when Plow United, a thrashy pop punk band that formed in high school, ended their 13-year hiatus to put out a new album, it raised a red flag. Marching Band starts on an all too light and poppy note with its opening song, “Human 2000.” And upon hearing it, you immediately regret your decision to give reunited bands a chance and start wondering how much your record collection would be worth on eBay. But after 1:15, it’s over, and almost as if it was a ruse, the band immediately and forcefully jumps back into their old selves. The rest of Marching Band, for the most part, sounds like it could’ve been ripped from the band’s late 90s catalog. Some of the songs are actually faster and more aggressive than Plow’s original material. A lot of credit is due here to Plow United. Pop punk is not typically a genre that matures well. Because it’s not meant to. It’s meant to stay dopey and juvenile forever. Pop punk should be associated with bad hair/fashion choices and chasing after someone who, in hindsight, had no romantic interest in you. It’s sort of funny to see a bunch of dudes in their mid-30s rehashing their pop punk sound but amazingly, Plow was able to maintain the sensibilities of their teen years. And they drive that point home with lyrics like, “We’ve got no future, we might as well act like it.” Plow United is one of the only bands that have successfully reunited without missing much of a beat. And while Marching Band is distinguishable by its slightly more professional recording and production value, not much else about the band has changed. And that’s a good thing. reviewed by Dan Ozzi
I think it is safe to say that Plow United reunited and did it right.
After a run from 1992-1998, Plow United reformed in 2011 and they return with new material in the form of Marching Band (Jump Start Records). Plow United hasnt just re-formed, theyve written ...
Scene Point Blank gave Plow United's "Marching Band" a 7.5 out of 10.
After Plow United acquainted a new audience with the fairly comprehensive comeback album, Sleepwalk: A Retrospective, the band set out to record their first new full length since their abrupt breakup in 1998. And for a band that had been out of commission for thirteen years, the Wilmington, Delaware trio has not missed a beat. The result is Marching [&]
The Punk Site also gave Plow United's "Marching Band" four stars.
The trio from Long Island has returned with the sophomore full length, produced by J. Robbins. Weighing in at 10 songs in a half hour, the band has consciously gone for short and catchy. Power pop songs with a heavy dose of 90s influence, the band have used Robbins impressive resume (Jawbreaker, Small Brown Bike, [&]
