From Punknews.org;
It takes a pretty savvy band to steer allusions toward hardcore legends like Negative FX and Negative Approach in both name and sound. It also takes a developed sense of wit to reference sectors of academia in both mathematical and linguistic fields at once. But what kind of band can pull off both of the above simultaneously? I could tell you, but it might blow your mind.
From the deep, dirty southern locale of Raleigh, North Carolina, Double Negative is right at home with “Golden Age Hardcore” retrofitters like Government Warning and Wasted Time. There must be something about that cosseted corner of the South Atlantic that spawns inch-thick forehead veins that pop out from hardcore singers’ buzzed heads like earthworms in the rain. Whatever it is that’s to blame for this head-bursting rage is also to thank for inspiring the current surge of grubby, early `80s-styled hardcore rattling off influences from Minor Threat to the Adolescents to Jerry’s Kids and Poison Idea. Double Negative’s style of punk is snotty but not whiny, thrashy but not thrash, and fast but not fastcore. That is to say, Double Negative is old-fashioned hardcore in the purest of terms.

from the Fader;
The Men are good because they sound like a tornado, picking up and dropping off scraps of sound like they weigh nothing. The joy is that it seems whirlwind, not collapsable and planned out. But they’re also from Brooklyn, the land of the self-aware, so maybe they’re accustomed to questions like “What are your influences?” When asked in a Village Voice interview about the new song and all of its inspirations, member Christopher Hansell had this to say about his favorite guitars: “Right now I’ve been obsessing over the guitar tone on Wire’s Pink Flag. Obviously Greg Ginn’s tone on almost all of the Black Flag records is a staple…” He’s not wrong. The new record has, to a tee, both that gigantic crunching guitar BIGNESS of Wire records and the incessant forward momentum of Black Flag. But there’s way more stuff in there, too. Remember Twister? Cows, houses, trees, everything spun around, and Helen Hunt was running around trying to figure out the monstrosity of the whole thing but by the end of the movie didn’t learn a damn thing except that it’s best to just respect the tornados’ insanity. She had the right idea.
