Tardus Etch And Sketch

Promises, Promises was produced by Shayne Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer). The album was engineered by Kevin McMahoon and mastered by Howie Weinberg at Masterdisk. The cover art was designed and hand sewn by Mark Rutledge.

Promises, Promises was well received by music journalists. Metacritic, a site which provides a normalised rating out of 100 based on reviews from critics, gives the album a score of 78.
Camilla Pia of the NME said of the album, "their relentless, unsettling sound is every bit as thrilling as their heavily punctuated name suggests, with this second offering stripped right down to the gnarled, bare bones of art punk."
Jason Heller of The A.V. Club noted that their second album "crams splinters of rhythm into dark, gorgeous choruses and acidic shout-alongs. The venom is still there, and it's just as potent, but it tastes a little sweeter this time around"
All songs by Andrew Wilson, Michael Prain, Lachlan Anderson, except track 13, by Die! Die! Die! & H. Oliver.
