A breath of fresh air has come to those who are tired of the typical angst and depression of most heavy rock and metal bands. Labeling themselves to be "humor-core" in tongue-in-cheek fashion, Psychostick spawned from Phoenix, built a reputation for their hilariously heavy music, and now have a CD destined to be a favorite to pop into the player for a car full of people on a Friday night.

"remember when humor went with your metal?!..remember s.o.d, and m.o.d. and groups like that?...Psychostick brings back that genre and feel and does it quite well.I throughly enjoyed the album all the way through,from beer to women to drive thru pranks,these guys cover the best and worst times in life with testosterone fueled humor. Loved it and made me feel nostaligic for the old stuff i used to listen to whilst in high school."

"One of the funniest bands I have ever heard and their music ROCKs too! If you enjoy the tasty grooves of Metal mixed with some comedy, pick this up!!! I saw these guys in Cleveland and just out side of Columbus, Ohio on their summer tour and they have a great stage show and hang out with the crowd and talk to everyone! These guys are how musicians should be! Keep it up!"

"Psychostick can be summed up in one word: special. Yeah, I mean "special." There debut album, "We Couldn't Think of a Title" (they really couldn't), features twenty tracks, most of them full songs, others comical interludes that document their trials as they debate between each other as to what the name of the album should be, among other things that you'll just have to listen to for yourself. In order to understand what kind of humor Psychostick utilizes, you'd have to listen to their eighth track, simply titled "Beer!", hands-down the album's single if they were to decide on it. The song is about how good beer is - and that's just about it. "Two Ton Paperweight" is a song about how worthless a man's car is and it is absolute hilarity. Psychostick's first album isn't necessarily radio-friendly, and it's easy to understand after you listen to "Orgasm = Love," a tale detailing a man's interaction with a woman and an explanation on how he defines love. And let me warn you: it's a little explicit. "Throwin' Down" is a hilarious song about a man upset with his high-maintenance girlfriend and "ABCDeath" is simply a hardcore/metal version of the ABC's. Psychostick is a unique group and they are able to blend hard rock and comedy pretty well. If you're looking for the sound of Stone Sour, but with absolutely ridiculous themes, get this CD. You'll nod your head to the rhythm, but crack up laughing with each track."
Couldn't think of a title either.

"Phychostick is made up of four members, and their lyrics are more twords comedy than that of the usal heavy metal scene. They pump out hard riffs of unrelenting metal that just make you want to sing along with the lyrics. A must have if anyone likes Primus but wanted to make it more hardcore!"
