"I first heard these guys with my annual purchase of Epitaph's latest Punk-O-Rama compilation (number 7 I believe), on the track "Addicts of Communication," a blistering Buzzcocks-style rave-up. My infatuation with all things "Garage" and "Swedish" which started with the Hives continued with these fellows, and I'm quite happy with the results.The songs live up to the album title's name, each one an explosion of punk energy coupled with a highly melodic sensibility. A lot of the songs have a 50s rock'n'roll kind of feel to them. In fact the title track is a homage of sorts to Little Richard. All in all, a great collection of punk/garage tunes from Randy. If you like the Hives and want more music in this style, definitely check it out!"
