"Greg Sage, of Portland's occasionally brilliant Wipers, heartily endorsed Dead Moon early on, and the band's debut LP In The Graveyard has a Wipers-y feel at times. Less instrumentally deft and lower of fidelity, sure, but `Graveyard' and `Don't Burn The Fires' combine a yearning sweetness and a punky forward momentum with a determination to present electric guitars, bass and drums in as un-manipulated a fashion as possible".
