"New Orleans D.I.Y. scenesters Special Interest signed with Rough Trade after making a splash with a pair of raw and outspoken, often grooving albums that combined styles ranging from no wave, post-punk, and alternative dance to pure, venting punk rock. On their Rough Trade debut, Endure, they expand even further upon this wide-ranging sonic territory to dip their toes into more refined funk and arty dance-rock (think the B-52s et al.) while smoothing rough edges a little - but just a little ... By the end, the album both feels like an inevitable destination from prior albums and represents an excellent entry point for the uninitiated".
