Word's about Castoff's Words about 'Lines and Passages':
"Six songs and just over fifteen minutes of classic California skatepunk, Lines and Passages is an absolute banger. Every track is packed full of energy, vocal hooks, hamonies, and some lovely guitar parts" - The Punk Archive
"Clear, melodic vocals with a socially conscious message? Check. Pounding snare drum, wicked palm mutes, and racing tempos? You bet! Well placed, technical guitar leads and pleasing back-up vocal harmonies? This EP's got em." -For the Love of Punk
