Spin

"Cage remains the best hope for the future development of the Dayton music scene...a sort of quirky, nervous art pop..." - Jim Greer

Screed

"Some may want to throw these guys in with their rocketeer neighbors, but I will say that they stand head & shoulders above most of the crap that college radio is mixing big bowls of oatmeal for these days...Alight That Failed cruises in at a comfortable altitude, telling us that "When you are not in charge of reality, navigation is only possible if you let go." To make things even better Cage enlist the help of ex-Pure Plastic Treeers Annette Meng and Brian Bagdonas to add acoustic strings where needed. I really dig her violin parts during Return To Cold... Nothin' Doin' has a keyboard line that will stay with you for sixteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds..."

The Splatter Effect

"Thick slabs of guitar slash careen off a skin tight rhythm section. The vocals range from a clean and melodic to distorted and claustrophobic. Cage rattle off four progressive songs that require repeated listening to soak in all the obvious and sometimes implied insanity...the sound on this 7" is fantastic for the amount of music they've managed to squeeze on it...had Devo started in the '90's they may have sounded like this."

Tailspins Magazine

"A psychotic opera surrounds me. The Conductor's wand drips blood as his lips stretch into a sardonic grin. The singer blows his shadow into me, his megaphone cupping my ear. My eyes explode. I feel the tickle of a feather on my nose which makes me laugh and suddenly I remember that I'm alone at home, laying on the floor, listening to Cage...socially and lyrically stimulating, these guys really trapped me. Kind of experimental noise meets The Pixies meets Ministry minus the speed sound. This is one record worth scouting for. Explore Cage, but give your soul the day off first."
