The Punk Site: "The Eradicats have crafted an EP that’s equal parts witty humor and energetic punk rock. From quirky odes to friendship to historical deep dives set to power chords, Best in Show is a unique journey through the band’s eccentric and humorous world, channeling the spirit of 90s alternative while carving out their own distinct niche."

Punk Rock Theory: "One standout track, 'New Best Friend,' perfectly encapsulates the band's knack for turning everyday awkwardness into punk rock gold. The song chronicles the overzealous pursuit of friendship, complete with plans to get matching tattoos and a borderline obsessive admiration for the potential friend's refrigerated coffee. The Eradicats tap into that universal experience of being a little too eager to make friends, crafting an anthem for everyone who's ever thought, 'I wonder what they're doing this weekend' about someone they've only met twice. With its catchy hooks and self-aware lyrics, 'New Best Friend' is likely to resonate with anyone who's navigated the awkward waters of adult friendships." Read more

The song 'Serious Medical Condition' sounds like us half the time. 'I think it's killing me' the singer complains. 'No it isn't' the background singers sensibly answer. 'Frank and the Lighthouse' is basically about getting up those steps... In the $3.00 EP's last song titled 'Our Last Song' they warn, 'You're not even gonna believe how short it is,' as the song abruptly halts at 23 seconds." Read more
