<i style="">“Two hours after Desaparecidos finished up their Saturday night gig at the 9:30 Club, my ears aren’t exactly ringing or throbbing. It’s more like there are these two columns of air sitting on both sides of my head, compressing my skull and allowing
only a select group of vibrations to get picked up by my insides and recognized as sound. I am exhausted, and maybe a tad dizzy, but I feel wonderful.” –

<p class="x_MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><i style=""><span lang="EN-GB">“As they left the stage, amps still burning away and humming with feedback, we couldn’t help but see a bit of Joe Strummer in Oberst, and though Desaparecidos have
not (yet) revitalized the youth on the scale that Strummer and the Clash once did, we’d like to think that this new era of the band might grow to do something similarly spectacular.” –
