Press quotes on SETTLE YOUR SCORES (2018):
„The whole album is a self-contained master piece.“ (Zephyr‘s Odem)
„The energy the radiates is like a run-away nuclear plant.“ (Rock Tribune)
„A very ambitious band with very extra ordinary songs.“ (Rock Hard)
„This is a breathtaking album. One of my favorite releases of the year. Share and praise it!“ (Velho Coyote)
„There‘s not many bands in today‘s music that can actually surprise a critic (…) but they are doing their thing so good, it‘s difficult not to get hooked by the atmosphere and intensity of their songs.“ (Metalglory)
„There's not a single bad track on this album.“ (Spaderess)
„A promising and coherent Classic Rock cocktail by a very talented combo, an adrenaline driven debut!“ (FFM-Rock)
"Hound have raised the bar to mix in amped up hard rock, way cool guitar riffs, wrapping it up with cool lyrics." (The Metal Meltdown)
„This album put a spell on me. Chapeau! A granate of an album!“ (Crossfire)
„Do we really need another band reviving the heroes of the 60s and 70s? To be honest I have no idea. But a band like Hound which performs the classic Hard Rock so joyful and pure, one will always need!“ (Handwritten Mag)
„(The album) sounds very fresh, is so fun and captures the feeling of Classic Rock so perfectly, is very emotional and spulful and most importantly played with a lot of passion.“ (heavy-metal.de)
„Hound are not a retro band in the sense that they are trying to recreate a sound that came from a bygone age, what Hound are doing here is more about celebrating that sound and reinvigorating it for a new audience while at the same time putting their own spin on things. There is a real feeling of satisfaction and joy running through each and every song on "Settle Your Scores" it almost feels at times as if these guys cannot believe that they are actually pulling this whole classic rock thing off and doing it with such ease and aplomb. (…) You‘re going to love this.“ (Stonerking)
„An intense and stirring album from the first note to the last.“ (Loudandproud)
