The best kept secret in music

• It’s simple, basic stuff, but there’s a raw catchiness in operation. There’s also something appealing about a band that’s not afraid to play sub-Johnny Thunders solos in 2001, don’t expect to see them on MTV back to back with blink 182 - Paul Travers
• This totally rocks it out '77 style, and has some of the coolest '77 punk songs I've heard in a long time, 1977 to be exact. If the track "Dying Nation" was put out 23 years ago it would still be today, the undisputed ‘official punk rock anthem’. It's like, "Here lies this dying nation, kiss the last generation, gumball junkie, love life flunkies, we're the lost generation." Fucking genius! pure gold! - Ken
• Well shit howdy! This is great! Absurd lyrics, that are as much shouted as they are sung, over four cuts of very catchy mid-tempo punk rock, which sounds like a mix of The Sex Pistols, Dead Boys, Heartbreakers and '50s rock and roll. Now, I know many bands are mining this territory as of late, but trust me; this band stands head and shoulders above much of the pack. Very snotty, very catchy, very cool and the song "Strap-On Sally" is a must hear. - RM June 99 #193 issue
