"This Guildford-based four-piece outfit are steadily building a reputation as one of Britain's most promising alt-rock bands. Their second release brilliantly combines the anthemic heavy riffs of US bands like QOTSA with the grit and aggression of classic British punk. The hard work they put into their live gigs shows in their studio music; they bring that sense of relentlessness with them - check out "Chokehold (Through My Eyes)". 'Written Ignition' is packed with potential hardcore gems. There is a sense of melody and commercial appeal too, so these guys know where they want to go and it's not the bargain bin! There is also a bonus DVD of music videos."
 – Neil Daniels - Rocksound Magazine

"Guildford's very own post-hardcore nu-metal bohican behemoth beat the Live & Loud bar into shape on the last weekend of June. Bohica is the band that never sleeps. They're always gigging, always touring, always writing...but they certainly don't let this tire them out, as proven at this simply electric gig. Judging by the crowd, the bands following is still healthy and still growing. The band have awesome stage presence, almost making the Live and Loud bar seem a little small for them."
 – DV8 Magazine

"Nu metal – just when you begin to wonder what reason remains for its very existence, up pops a band who actually make a decent fist of it. Bohica produce some passion-filled, crisp and melodious songs, rhythms so bouncy your mum could do aerobics to them and energy so prominent she’d drop dead of a heart attack if she tried."
 – Eddie Thomas - subba-cultcha

"'An Open Book' lays down the blueprint and Bohica are up there with Machine Head and Avenged Sevenfold - melodic metal of the highest order. 'Chokehold' sounds like an outtake from Trivium's debut album and it has a compulsive metal riff that would have even the most hardened ancient hack reaching for the smelling salts. Bohica make a compelling noise and they deserve your attention."
 – Get Ready to Rock

"Without doubt, 'Written Ignition' from the excellent Bohica is a pretty magnificent and damn cool piece of work. Sitting squarely astride several aspects of contemporary rock, it's a totally polished, head-bangin' album that just begs to be heard."
 – Toxic Pete

"Bohica has achieved in making an almost perfect hardcore record with 'No Apologies'. Flexibility as well as hardness are an important factor, but never collide with each other. Those who haven't heard this band yet really should check them out, because this band makes modern hardcore like it should be." 
 - Lords of Metal 

"With its range of styles from aggressive post-hardcore, through to anthemic alt-rock and on to sensitive balladry, this is also a record that has all its bases covered. There's enough examples of stand out radio friendly material here to see the band competing healthily in today's rock music scene and a real sense that this is a band that could well and truly cross over into the big leagues."
 - UK Music Search 

"Bohica are taking on a lot of radio-friendly US acts on and beating them – and you could do worse than to check them out."
– Punktastic 

"Bohica are the perfect remedy: heavy riffs and screaming solos, but with a delivery that never loses sight of the ‘song’. For everyone who thought Eighteen Senses screamed just a bit too much, check this out."
– Click Music 

"Singer James “J” Burns voice has a certain warm and powerful quality which makes the band all the more remarkable in a heavily saturated rock market with bands struggling to find that unique touch. Bohica are not just another teenage angst rock band to vent your anger to, but a positive and energetic new band."
– Room Thirteen 

"A fractious blend of hook-laden American stadium rock and gritty punk/ metal values that gushes through on a tide of melodious vocals and scintillating fretwork. It’s a common formula admittedly, but one nonetheless that’s rarely achieved with such a blistering batch of songs."
- Noyz 

"...acoustic I Move On is stunning and songs like Crawl and Around My Skin are great whilst showing another two sides of the band. Overall though, if this is the future of UK metal then I can not wait, as this is classic yet refreshing and revitalised. If this is not the future of UK metal? It should be."
- Gamefoe 

"Devastating guitar riffs, tight drumming and melodic vocals. In the vein of melodic-hardcore bands like Hundred Reasons, Funeral For A Friend or Rival Schools, this shows Bohica as a band that could well be making waves in the next year or so."
– UK Music Search 

"Their attention to detail in what they're doing shines through without question. They are head and shoulders above similar offerings I've heard and again the sound quality lifts the whole CD. They'd sit quite proudly with their peers with this, and probably give them a damn good run for their money."
