After a long hiatus, the band revived in 2017 in the wake of the election of Donald Trump for a "Squirrels Trump Hate" tour. At this time Adam McKinney described them in the "Weekly Volcano" as "musical anarchists" and "a huge point of pride for the Puget Sound music scene." Andrew Hamlin, writing in Seattle weekly "The Stranger" described them as "still one of the city's greatest bands, now and forever. … Rob Morgan… knows every rock-and-roll song ever recorded and can kill on at least five of them at the same time."
