CRITIC REVIEWS

90
Northern Transmissions
A collection of songs that has its sights squarely aimed at toxic masculinity, sexism and the emotional strain of unreliable relationships. This is all enrobed in a sonic mixture of peppy-pop-punk, jerky tropical rhythms and quiet/loud grunge motifs.

Under the Radar
The EP easily stands on itโ€™s own with its sharp focus, but if the band is able to keep its songwriting this tight and this punchy on LP two then fans surely have great things to look forward to.

The Line of Best Fit

With Honeymoon Beach Bunny established themselves as both critical darlings and a force to be reckoned with. Blame Game takes everything that made that record so irresistible and amps it up.

AllMusic

As a stand-alone release or an aperitif to their next full-length, Blame Game is another solid entry in the Beach Bunny canon.

FLOOD Magazine

While the honeymoon might be over by the time Blame Game begins, it’s hard to temper Beach Bunny’s spirit; even in a world rife with chauvinistic attitudes, just making it through in one piece is still worth celebrating.

Ayo, those are my anime people.

Beach Bunny's new EP, "Blame Game", is a 13-min short indie pop & power pop project that is actually quite good and fun.

The energy is definetly there, with Lili, the vocalist, showing up with a lot of powerful anthems to light up the day real fast.

The production is also really fast-paced and usually ... read more

'Blame Game' is my first time listening to anything by Beach Bunny, being Beach Bunny's fifth EP. The EP is excellent, not specifically for its sounds, but because of how beautiful the lyrics in the EP are as each line seems to be carefully written to send a spectacular message. Each message is magnificent and carefully crafted to form a fantastic, fun EP that I'll be going back to often.

I remember seeing this at Urban Outfitters and wanted to save it in my notes. Finally years later got around to this and thought I was getting myself into a whole lot of mid, but was later met with a promise of potential. This album does mostly well on production and can bring in a lot of energy and identity for Beach Bunny. I would say that the vocal production could use some more work in the sense that maybe a couple more backing vocals would really enhance the vibe and charisma they are ... read more

A solid little EP, but sonically a step down from their last one-- with the exception of Good Girls (Don't Get Used). Blame Game has a fantastic message and great writing, but is unfortunately held back by a pretty average instrumental.
