Press:

“Chapel Hill’s Salt to Bit­ters make lan­guid folk that cen­ters on the tattered-heart tantrums of singer Tony T. Raver.“
Jor­dan Lawrence — Inde­pen­dent Weekly

“Tony Raver’s cathar-sick wails front Salt to Bit­ters’ abra­sive acoustic-charged punk.“
Spencer Grif­fith — Inde­pen­dent Weekly

“Salt to Bit­ters is a band that seems to be ded­i­cated to the prac­tice of con­sum­ing, imbib­ing, vom­it­ing, recov­er­ing from, apol­o­giz­ing for and cel­e­brat­ing alco­hol.“
Bzzz — Wall Fly

“Salt To Bit­ters has a sharp, slash­ing style and a sham­bling folk-punk atti­tude. “
Chris Parker — Inde­pen­dent Weekly
