"Moving Forward" Review excerps:

"a band that sounds like it has outgrown its blue collar, three chord punk roots and evolved into a tight, four-man stick of rock ’n’ roll dynamite"
(Rick Allen - The Other Paper - July, 2004)

"gritty, mid-tempo tunes with guttural, frog-throated vocals, lots of strong guitar leads, and pronounced rootsy leanings. Tuneful, blue collar type stuff. Fred Sarginger’s guitar work is nothing short of sensational, and Tom Barrett’s Mike Ness-ish bark oozes heart & sincerity."
(Josh Rutledge - Now Wave Magazine - July, 2004)

"It is upbeat, up-tempo, and fun, and it’s easy listening. But Moving Forward is also surprising in its diversity and strength. Whereas many albums in this genre quickly fall apart upon repeated listening, Moving Forward maintains its integrity. The melodies are well thought out, and no track is noticeably lacking in quality. The overall sound may be sugar-coated, but the heart of the music is substantial."
(Paul Coover - Sandiego Punk - October, 2004)

"Blatant Finger tend to move along at the pace of a jobless, trust-funded surfer dude, which immediately makes their music recall the glory days of Social Distortion, F Word, the Crowd and the other great bands on Posh Boy Records' late 70s roster. In the formal sense, the tunes are pretty much straight-up late 70s British punk a la the Buzzcocks, Generation X, etc., but the songs are delivered with so much attitude and aggression that one is tempted to say that Blatant Finger have some hardcore leanings."
(Daniel - Deep Fry Bonanza - October, 2004)
