At The Scene of The Accident
Regardless of what the disparate parts of Kudzu Wish thought their band was, the music press, and underground rock fans, often didn't know what to make of the five-piece. Reviews of their 2002 debut, a split CD with Disband released on Ernest Jenning Records, often revealed the reviewer to be confused (and occasionally appalled) at a perceived lack of cohesiveness, and yet appreciative of the forcefulness of the songs. Ryan Potts at Skyscraper Magazine seemed let down by a band who couldn't finish what they started.
"Kudzu Wish spin rough rock edges around their sturdy melodic core to arrive at music that feels as if it’s simply going through the motions of a typical punk band rather than truly trailblazing its own path."

Famous quotes containing the words scene and/or accident:
“But whatever happens, wherever the scene is laid, somebody, somewhere, will quietly set out—somebody has already set out, somebody still rather far away is buying a ticket, is boarding a bus, a ship, a plane, has landed, is walking toward a million photographers, and presently he will ring at my door—a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Thus he struggled, by every method, to keep his light shining before men. Surely the lighthouse-keeper has a responsible, if an easy, office. When his lamp goes out, he goes out; or, at most, only one such accident is pardoned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
