"I'm pretty blown away by this album. Atomic Satterfield and Jared Grabb are really talented songwriters and musicans. I expect to see them on No Idea or an even bigger label in the near future (or at least become a well known name in the punk community)." - The Playlist Dot Net

"If Glenn Danzig ever relocated to the Midwest, got a job as a mechanic and bought a cowboy hat for the weekends, he would have recorded this album. Roots In Gasoline boils down the Midwestern experience in 11 tight compositions. Affectionately referred to as screamo, Scouts Honor also infuses country into their tales of desperation to the point of borderline rock-a-billy. This is about working in the cold dirt with heavy machinery and cherishing a beer when your 14 hour workday has let you go. Scouts Honor have honed both of their instruments to their full, hard potential and their minimalism brings their picture even more into focus. 2 hard working guys who seem to know first-hand how a small town can kill you if you dont kill it first. The use of additional musicians, thicker strings and post-production fancies to this guitar-drum equation would dilute their Us vs. Them attitude. Their grit and ferocity shows through perfectly with good musicianship and plain truth lyrics. There were rumors that the miners were to rise up. All the farmers knew, but the farmers couldnt give a fuck. Because, they been raped too. Words like this from Other Side Of Town drop you in the middle of a wrench fight with only your skin and teeth to help fend off the local bitters. Scouts Honor is a damn fine example of substance over appearance." JJ of Impose Magazine

"There is no way I can describe this group without making it sound bad. But the thing is, Scouts Honor is awesome! Two guys come together to create music that strides the line somewhere between blues and country folk and all-out punk rock. I hate to use this as an example, because Im not really into them at all, but I guess you could say this sounds a little like Against Me. They know how to break it down into simple slide guitar riffs topped by anthemic choruses, and in the next song rage with punk rock speed and gravely breakdowns. Im way into it simply because I havent heard a band do something like this. Theres really no way for me to do this justice other than recommending you to go and check it out for yourself." - Hanging Hex

"Roots In Gasoline is a cross-country road trip making half its stops in roadside dives full of mechanical bulls and cowboy hats, and the other half in decrepit basements with bad ventilation and a mass of sweaty, screaming kids. It is a blue-collar declaration carved into the bar at some box-sized watering hole that stands across the street from bright and gaudy marquees promoting the next big thing. It is a two-man protest rooted in frustration and stated with conviction. But more than anything else, Roots In Gasoline is a batch of honest rock songs. Scouts Honor is Jared Grabb on guitar and vocals and Tom Atomic Satterfield on drums and backing vocals. Throughout Roots In Gasoline the two cling to bits of Americana and back porch aesthetics while touching on everything from acoustic blues numbers (Roots In Gasoline, Devil Between), to Against Me!-styled punk (Cost Of Living, Lovable Mama), and straight-up hard rock (Other Side Of Town, Better Life). While this may seem like the album would come off disjointed, it doesnt. Scouts Honor have the ability to tie together a host of musical variables with strong vocals, and a keen storytelling ability in order to make them their own." - Punk News
