"This is a live 8-song ep recorded at a place in Omaha they describe as a bowling alley/pool hall/radio station/volleyball court/nightclub/bar/recording studio. I would be in heaven. I would describe this band as New Wave Ska Punk Rock. All the songs are very cool covers with Elvis Costello/Just Like Heaven, Joe Jackson/Is She Really Going Out With Him, Mott The Hoople/Feel Like Making Love, The Specials/Nite Club, The Who/The Kids Are Alright, Peter Tosh/Downpressor Man, The Buzzcocks/You Say You Don't Love Me and The Police/Man In The Suitcase. I looked up some info on them and it said in 1996 they played 382 live gigs! Also, when I played this on my computer I was surprised to find a pretty funny montage of video clips."

Funny, energetic covers

"I'm a big fan of covers/remakes. I like to see how an artist interprets a song. In this short CD, Goldfinger gives us a series of high-energy, tongue-in-cheek covers. As the saying goes, "They're not pulling any musical punches." But this is FUN! It's also some of the best workout music I know."
