Washington not California

"A correction to the reviewer who said these guys are from California. Nope, they were from Seattle. And I seriously doubt they are racist. The metaphor to Crows is relating the nuisance bird to people who have similar characteristics. This is a great record."

Blip!

"I had hoped to see more of these guys than we did, but I guess they were never more than the sum of the Holt Brothers' production (see their awesome work with Exodus, and you'll get an idea of the energy and guitar sound you'll get here). It's kind of a knock-off, but Blackfeather Shake and High Strung really do rock. I have to confess that I don't know much about the lyrics the other reviewer discusses, since I tend to focus in on the music and not the words (*shrug*), but I sure can rock out to these tunes. Saw them at The Troubadour in support of this album, and it was a kick-ass show. I saw a lot of moshing, so clearly the songs do affect their listeners, but the key attraction to this album is the Holt Bros' production skillz."
