Tone Madison included GAS in their roundup of 2020 standout recordings:
Any band that exists for as long as The German Art Students have is bound to go through changes, but all that time has also given this Madison power-pop outfit a high level of control over their craft. Rest Area Relief, an EP partially inspired by less-than-glorious touring experiences, sees The German Art Students occupying a place of invigoration that pays a good deal of dividends. Irreverent and charming to the end, Rest Area Relief is a solid reminder of the band’s appeal. —Steven Spoerl
