“…the picture they’re creating is approaching masterpiece status.”
Mark Nielsen - Drum Media

“Grittier, nastier and far more flamboyantly melodramatic, Peabody return with a vengeance on The New Violence… the sound of a band coming into their own. ”
Andrew Weaver - Rolling Stone

“The New Violence is my favourite album of the year so far; when I play it, nothing else matters, everything else disappears.”
Melanie Sheridan - BEAT Magazine

“It’s a strong collection, mainly driving and crunchy but sometimes spiky and urgent, always performed with a vital spark of menace.”
George Palathingal - Sydney Morning Herald

“…that’s where these guys differ from the current crop of angular rockers - they turn their influences into something entirely original. Turn up ‘The New Violence’ - carnage never sounded so sweet.”
Darren Atkinson - BMA Magazine

“With The New Violence Peabody have turned in a darker, angrier record than I think a lot of people expected, and, in doing so, have released what is so far easily the best CD of 2005. Everything on The New Violence is a revelation.”
Belvedere Jehosephat - The Wax Conspiracy

“I’m thoroughly convinced that 2005 will be theirs, because The New Violence is absolutely perfect.”
Mark Mitchell - The Brag

“Overall, the New Violence shows Peabody as that rare beast - a great rock band with something
new to say… a distinctive rock attack that in the end sounds like on one else.”
Brett Collingwood - RAVE Magazine
