(Show Review) - I've eagerly awaited the chance to see 800 Octane again. These guys have been around for nearly a decade and they've toured all over the country, yet fame seems to elude them. It just goes to show that there's no justice in the music business. How do candyass bands like Fenix TX and Good Charlotte receive so much hype, while excellent hard-hitting groups like 800 Octane wallow in relative obscurity?!? Damn it, I need to calm down… OK, I'll make this quick because all I can think of are rock journalism cliches. 800 Octane is one of the most energetic bands I've ever seen. Great tunes, great "stage presence." They've got it all. (Compact 56 / compact56.com)

(Show Review) - With a vague attempt to put their performance into words, they were incredible. It really knocked the piss out of everyone. They have so much energy, great songs, and just an awesome sound all around. Not to mention that they're really cool guys. Chase said the only description worthy of 800 Octane is "godly." I can't really argue. After seeing many of my favorite bands live and then seeing these guys, I think the big guys have a run for their money coming up. (EPD)

(Show Review) - The Lonely Kings were supposed to headline the show but they cancelled, leaving Portland's 800 Octane as the evening's final band. I'd never heard their music before. I know a few people who saw them open for Face To Face last fall. They all said that 800 Octane was great. They weren't lying. 800 Octane was incredibly rockin' and played with more vigor than most bands I've seen lately. Their guitarist Justin jumped around like a madman, which is even more amazing when you consider how low the Animal Farm ceiling is. 800 Octane rules and I hope we can play with them again soon.

(Show Review) - Next was Oregon's own 800 Octane . These guys never cease to amaze me. They put on such a good show and the crowd always loves their spooky punk sound. They played an incredibly tight set and this time Eric didn't put a hole in the stage. Good job Eric. Also, always be sure to check out 800 Octane whenever you can. They are simply amazing, and the nicest guys you will ever meet. (Dead Even)

(Show Review) - Next was 800 Octane. This hard hitting punk band from Portland rocked the Eagles Lodge so hard. They kept the crowd into it for their whole set with lots of energy and crowd pleasing acts. I think their bodies were afloat in the air more than on the stage. They put on an excellent show.
