"This was an intensely physical performance. The musicians seemed to throw themselves into the music, constantly interacting with one another. The bassist in particular appeared at times to obey his own laws of physics: hair flying, legs kicking and his entire body constantly in motion, without sacrificing the force of his playing.

The vocalist was equally unwilling to accept the conventional boundaries of a stage. At one point, microphone still in hand, she climbed into the wooden and metal structure at the side of the Wooden Stage. More than simply providing a great photographic moment, it became an almost perfect visual summary of this band: for GRAB, boundaries appear to exist primarily to find out how far they can be crossed." —The Progspace (read the full review here)

"There are few times, as a writer, that you’re genuinely wowed. As you get older the ‘wows’ are fewer and farther betwixt, but when Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb landed on my ‘desk’ my scepticism turned to unbridled joy within 90 seconds...They’re young, raw and have enough attitude and talent to elevate the topography of the Flemish region to a height exceeding Signal de Botrange (694m in case you’re interested)." —The Indie Grid (read the full review here)

"And we thought we 'd never experience The Runaways ' Cherry Bomb live. Blaise was the atomic bomb that constantly surprised us. She writhed, danced, and jumped, but mostly navigated between singing, screaming, and grunting. Okay, The Runaways are one thing, but we also heard the thrash metal of Slayer and the madness of Cocaine Piss resonate: consistently punky, punchy, and prestigious...This performance had everything a concert night could wish for, and this will be the successor to Wijf en Maria Iskariot in 2026. Mark our words!" —Luminous Dash (read the full review here)
