So this is what would happen if you took the Ramones and The Commitments and smashed them together into one band . . . cool. It's the ultimate punk rock bar band, playing two-minute, loud, fast, rockin' versions of tunes you know like Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour," James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," Otis Redding's "Shake," and Sam and Dave's "Hold On I'm Coming." There's also some you might not know like "Riot On Sunset Strip" and "Silverspoonpunkthunk." The cool thing is they've got such a solid sound, that if you don't know the songs, you'd have no idea which ones are covers and which aren't if any aren't that is see, I don't know. This is what all bar bands should aspire to be . . . excellent.

And just in case you were thinking 'sounds like Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies,' well yeah, maybe a little, except this is fifteen years older (34 of the 37 tracks were recorded in 1980 - the other 3 are from last year) and there's none of that snide "we're playing this song because we think it's funny to play this song" attitude. These guys love this shit and it shows.

Wish my friend's bar band sounded like: "All or Nothing," "Little Girl," "Hey Joe," "Jenny Take A Ride," "Come See Me."
