The Village Voice alt-weekly has mentioned the subject of the band's attire, with blogger and (former) Voice writer, Nick Sylvester referring to them as having "ousted Animal Collective as the Village People of Brooklyn Noise".[1] The significance of their hats was noted several more times.[2] In 2007 the Pendu Sound compilation album Getting rid of the glue  with Excepter and Daniel Carter was listed as number 70 in Thurston Moore's "Top 80 of 2006".[3][4]

Nathan Corbin and Clare Amory participated as drummers in the Boredoms 77 Boadrum performance which occurred on July 7, 2007 at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park in Brooklyn, New York.

Excepter was featured on the cover of The Wire's May 2010 issue.[5][6]

Member Clare Amory died of cancer on February 24, 2011.[7]

gollark: I think he's in Australia or something. They might have stricter laws, like the UK, about guns and such.

gollark: I mean, mostly. There's the no-fly list, so not *entirely*.
gollark: Bye then, enjoy your whatever.
