"Nation of Interns," as reviewed in Big Takeover #54:
"Historically, the reason you start a band is to get girls. But I think that's probably not happening here. The Anchormen are just weird, mixing a Descendents-like vocal style with about 78% more words per song than most experts advocate, and backing that with bashing music that manages to sound amateurish and complex at the same time. I guess you'd say it's punk, but it ain't Green Day -- it's got Gang of Four jaggedness wihout the funk and Swell Maps oddness, and hell, when's the last time you heard a catchy song that mentions five-time socialist presidential candidate of a century ago, Eugene Debs? Anyway, this is good stuff -- fresh-sounding music that's catchy and rocking and has interesting lyrics. Who could ask for more?" -- Steve Gardner
