"Fist of the North Star - "Get Fisted" Snarling, nasty-assed, energetic, fresh and rockin' good old school style hardcore punk rock. If this music doesn't make you want to mosh, I don't know what does. The band has attitude, super fast guitar work and harsh vocals. Fist of the North Star really rock it out without leaving a bad taste in your mouth or your ears ringing. Yeah, they're simple, but the songs are damn good - quick, catchy, high-octane and bad-ass. The only thing I found as a slight turn off is that the singer has a tendency on a few of the songs to reach for a few notes that he can't reach and screams a little more than I really like. During those screaming parts it reminds me of Death Metal and that's not a good thing. Yeah, it's a personal thing that I hate Death Metal, but it's my review right?...Right!"

PunkRockReview.org Band Review
Fist of the MOTHERFUCKING North Star were in fine form. My first time seeing the three piece and they pull it off nicely. Edwin pulls off the vocalist drummer thing quite well. The new guitarist is tight as hell! Sweep picking and shredding his way through every song, he's a killer addition to the band. It was fun to see ex-member Jeff take the mic for a couple songs, and the band played a new cover song as well, a NOFX tune, but Fist-style with more balls, that had the crowd singing at high level.
Started in 2006, Fist of the North Star is quickly rising as one of the best know/hardest working punk bands from the music city of Nashville, TN. After a hundred plus shows, multiple drummer and guitarist changes, a West coast tour and numerous opening spots for National touring bands, Fist of the North Star has made a name for themselves with a loud in your face, Thrash Punk sound that stands alone in todays cloned music world. With their debut CD, "Here's To An Early Grave" and a video of the first single "We Are Legion" set to come out in the Summer of 2008 and a European tour set for May-June of 2009, the trio has set themselves apart from most bands with independently supported non stop touring, hard work and dedication to bring their music to anyone who will listen, anywhere they can.
