"Put simply, it's just down right dirty rock n' roll that makes you want to hurl yourself around and hope for the best. None of the fluffy keyboards or electronics that seem to have taken over these days ... Somebody better sign these guys. Their music should be out there for the masses to enjoy. The sooner the better I say. All hail the arrival of The Casuals!"
- Artrocker
