"here's a great review from Spin.com: "Rye Coalition's fattened-up AC/DC-sleaze schtick has been the same since the beginning, but it's taken Dave Grohl, who produced Curses, to get their mojo flowing. With songcraft that encompasses some of Grohl's best come-ons -- thundering, sassy, and hedonistic -- it seems with Curses the zeitgeist has finally hit. While Rye Coalition's anthemic and indulgent cuts sport titles that might read too cheeky to take seriously ("Tequila Mockingbird (P.T.E.)," "Vietnam Veterinarian," and "Between an I-Roc and a Hard Place"), the band lather on balls-out garage-glam with enough impressive sincerity that the tracks never sound stupid. Plus, they've got the earnestness to light up arenas, or, at least, Camaros for backseat escapades.""
