"I had organs rattling that I didn't know existed!" -Adam Powers.

"MegaZilla: The first band to make me stuff paper towels in my ears, ever! Good Shit!!" -Wipey

"Influenced by bands like EnemyMine, Harvey Milk, The Melvins, and High on Fire, MegaZilla is dynamic, and rich with sonic landscapes just waiting to be battered with their jarring, alluvial tone... The first time I saw MegaZilla, I was not only ill-prepared for my ears to be usurped by their stunning loudness, but I apparently hadn't discussed with my internal organs that they'd be just as much a part of the experience. The abomination in my guts almost felt like they were rearranging themselves, perhaps to find shelter behind one another from MegaZilla's huge, at-times terrifying din."
- Francesca Camillo for MadeLoud

"The other Australian Cattle God band playing that night was Megazilla from Columbia, Missouri. Another 2 piece although their volume could put most 5 piece bands to shame. Similar to Big Business or Godheadsilo" -www.cod-music.blogspot.com

"The first band of the evening was Megazilla. i have seen this band numberous times but not on a sound system as big as The Blue Note. the duo has played in smaller venues, basements, art spaces, etc. but they certainly took advantage of the modest 1000 person capacity Blue Note. Did i mention these guys happen to be friends of mine. But lets take them off of the "Friend's band" grading curve. it would be unfair, because their perfomance was loud and they were tight. Corey "MegaCoCo" Cottrell explains that Megazilla is basically "a kick drum and amps" and he is right. Joey "MegaJoJo" Hook, plays the kit with six arms and a driving kick that layers very well with Cottrell's eight string bass. The songs are heavy but precise. The two have great chemistry, most likely because the two are off-stage lovers. okay that part is not true, but the two had previously played in a five piece called Grand Canyon, which, like most Columbia bands, met a premature end.
The most impressive thing about Megazilla's performance was the amount of people who were captivated by their show. during the quiet parts of songs there was not a single voice. All eyes were on these two creating a great warm up for the eventual headliners Mastodon."
