MUSICOMH

For the most part, it’s a confident debut album, one that is jam-packed with raucous, ready-made hits.

A.V. CLUB

America Give Up is about woo-oo-oo choruses and fuzz-laden, spiky guitar chords, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

75
THE 405

America Give Up is a bona fide rock 'n' roll album with more energy than a Duracell bunny with ADHD.

70
POPMATTERS

32 minutes of snotty, bratty, loud, potty-mouthed rock ‘n’ roll.

60
NO RIPCORD

While Howler is not going to change our idea of what music can sound like, they are not a guilty pleasure band either.

60
PITCHFORK

America Give Up is inconsistent and derivative yet promising, and not nearly as impressive as some early adopters would have people believe

40
DROWNED IN SOUND

Catchy, bratty and phenomenally uninspiring, America Give Up is not so much shouting from the rooftops as howling at the moon.
