"In October, headliners Chief Beef self-released Something About Rock , 11 songs that sound straight outta the Midwest--straightforward indie rock with a durable rhythm section, big guitar chords and hummable vocal melodies... they're sure to appeal to fans of Shiner and Traindodge, or even Queens of the Stone Age." -Tucson Weekly, January 18, 2007
"New Mexico newbies Chief Beef feature a pairing of husband and wife on guitar and bass, respectively. [Stewart] Alaniz, who provides the percussion for CB, believes this dynamic helps create the chemistry the band thrives on. "John and Christine (Lipfert) have been playing music together for over nine years. The way they understand each other and the different tones on their instruments is truly incredible," says Alaniz. "How close they are really effects how honest we all are with each other. We don't hold anything back because if you keep a lid on certain feelings it just creates bigger problems later on." 2006's Something About Rock is CB's debut album and, although it is certainly prog-rockish in many respects, you needn't be a die-hard fan of the genre to appreciate where the band is coming from. There are flashes of Fugazi and Queens of the Stone Age. The regimented drumbeats and punchy guitar give many of the tracks a punk edge, made sharper by John Lipfert's vocals." - The Alibi, Albuquerque, January 25, 2007
Though it sounds like the mascot of Major League 's woeful Cleveland Indians, the moniker Chief Beef is entirely appropriate for a band that yields juicy slabs of power-trio rock. The Phoenix, Arizona, band's 2007 Gravy Tour comes on the heels of its independently released debut, Something About Rock . Step into Chief Beef's meat locker for a rump roast's worth of brainy prog sludge informed by bands such as Burning Airlines, Jesus Lizard, No Knife and the Mars Volta. The bass grooves are succulent, the drums employ a plump thump and the guitar lines are butcher-shop fresh. - The Pitch, Kansas City, August 30, 2007
