“With beefy production, big riffs, and even bigger drums, Make Yr Life is as accessible as

the Donnas, and just as sexy, regardless of your sexual preference.” (**** Four Star Rating)
– Alternative Press

“To answer the Butchies repeated question in the hook of ‘Lydia,’ ‘Did you get what

you’re asking for?’ Yes… yes, I did. A damn fine rock ‘n’ roll record.”
– Amplifier

“Make Yr Life’s sound is just a tad more mature than previous Butchies albums,

but quite a lot more focused. If this is what punk rock sounds like when it grows up a little,

more of those bands should trade in their training wheels.”
–CMJ New Music Report

“See these sweet Southern grrls now before they fall prey to the inevitable limos and hookers.”
– The Village Voice

“Make Yr Life is a sweaty, loud, lesbionic jump-spin-makeout record, and power-pop

has rarely found a more exciting context. Strongly recommended.”
– Pop Matters

“Usually, it’s a bad sign when an album’s best song is a cover. But the first nine tracks on

Make Yr Life, the fourth record from North Carolina’s Butchies, are such tasty slices of

classic power pop that the stunning version of the Outfield’s 1985 hit ‘Your Love,’

which closes the album, is just a show-stopping bonus.”
– The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Proving that girls can play as good as any bunch of fellows, The Butchies are talented,

truly original and just plain fun. And their approach comes through on ‘Make Yr Life.’

With the strong lyrics, solid vocals, and ambitious instrumentals,

you’ll be signing along before you know it.”
– Birmingham Post-Herald

“Wilson’s guitar crunches with the best of them (especially on ‘Trouble’), Melissa York is a

rock behind the drums, and Alison Martlew’s bass is as big shouldered as ever.

This stuff is as good as anything on mainstream radio”
– Girlfriends
