"This cd truly is WHITE HOT!

Rock music today is missing something, and that something can be found on this super sexy and oh-so-fun cd.

As soon as I heard the beginning of the first song, "Good Head", I thought to myself, "It sounds like old Kiss, how fun!".

And it just got better from there.

These guys sound like they are having a lot of fun playing together. You won't be able to just sit and listen to it, but will be compelled to get up and dance, headbang, or....... gee, it's getting hot in here.

Singer Steve Perry's song lyrics are an interesting and sexy treat to listen to, as always.

I think my favorite song is "Ride the Snake"- Wow! What a naughty jam! Just thinking about it makes me want to.......

What a talented bunch! Thank you White Hot Odyssey!"

White Hot ROCK!

"White Hot Odyssey is the reincarnation of everything that was sweaty, loud, dumb, and sexy about 1970s rock n' roll. It's as if KISS, T-Rex, the Sweet, and AC/DC had an orgy, resulting in a baby wearing Gary Glitter's glitter and feather boa.

I'm just going to say whether this is good music or not -- and this is GOOD MUSIC. It's headbanging, air-guitar-playing, jumping-on-the-bed, making-out-in-the-backseat-of-your-76-Mustang kind of music. It's unabashed, unbridled, and so indulgently sticky sweet raw.

Take a look at the song titles:

1. Good Head

2. Permanent Juvenile

3. Hot Tub Party

4. Popularity Contest

5. Head Cheerleader

6. Spit it Up

7. Subway Killer

8. Siamese Connection

9. Ride the Snake

10. Lick the Pole

11. 3 in Bed

Not for kiddie sing-alongs!

But I think the song that best sums up White Hot Odyssey's mission statement is "Permanent Juvenile":

Rock n' roll's about long hair and getting high

Hot girls who spend the night

Six packs, eight tracks, till you're really [...] in' up your life

Vocalist Steve Perry and lead guitarist Jason Moss are from the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, but don't go thinking that you're going to hear any swing on this album. If you're familiar with the lyrical material on CPD's "Ferociously Stoned," the overly raunchy content will thrill you. Either that, or make you say aloud, "Holy crap, did he just say what I think he said?"

I really can't praise this debut album enough. If you're in the Portland/Eugene, OR area, be on the lookout for local shows -- getting your eardrums blown out by them live is such a treat.

It's all in naughty, dirty fun."

"I loved the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, and it seems as thought Steve has done it again. Sure fire. Dirty funk, catchy tunes....I loved it. And just for the record, Ride The Snake is my favourite. I'd definately recommend this to anyone who is a fan of The Daddies, or bands like The Darkness. White Hot Odessey is great, and I'm very glad I invested in it!"

"Somewhere in a parallel universe, Buster Poindexter was playing his goofy swing/lounge act before he went on a whim to see KISS. In that universe, he drops the martini shtick, ditched the pin stripe suit for his Mom's old dresses and changes his name to David Johansen and forms the New York Dolls, then rockets to fame as the world clutches copies of the NYD debut to their (...).

Well, it's happening here and now. If you remember the flash in the pan swing revival of the late 90's, The Cherry Poppin' Daddies made one of the few memorable albums of the moment with "Zoot Suit Riot." After the inevitable demise of the fad, vocalist Steve Perry (no, NOT the Journey croaker) and guitarist Jason Moss started their own little side project, this White Hot Extravaganza. The band threw off their punky swing and began to concentrate on Dollsy, T Rex riff riots.

Dang if White Hot Odyssey don't kick major powdered wig butt in the dandified process. Insanely juvenile and stoopid in the best way, they steal blatantly from the best sources. AC/DC riffs pop up in "Hot Tub Party," "Subway Killer" cribs from Kiss, and you'll wonder how close David Jo was to the studio when "Popularity Contest" does it's mirror image chorus to "Personality Crisis." Like another rip-roaring rock and roll joy-ride, The Darkness, W.H.O. are all about the giddy fun of rocking balls out. If there is an agenda here, it's (non)-hidden in song titles like "Lick The Pole," "Ride The Snake" and "3 In Bed."

This would all dissolve into Spinal Tap parody if the band weren't so loud and proud. There isn't a single cheesy corporate ballad here mugging for the attention of sleepy-eared radio programmers. This is aimed squarely at the folks who think, as the lyric to "Permanent Juvenile" states, "rock and roll's about long hair and getting high....till you're really f-n' up your life!" We aren't booking on the intellectual quotient here, folks. If there was ever a time in your life that you believed in that statement (or if you still do), then the debut of White Hot Odyssey is for you. And if it isn't, they have come for your children with a Flying-V classic rock guitar lodged between their marshall amped legs......."

I wanna "Ride the Snake!"

"White Hot Odyssey ROCKS!

Being a fan of Steve Perry and Jason Moss from their Cherry Poppin Daddies days, I had high expectations. This cd exceeded them. I'm talking about, bouncing up and down, uncontrollable smiling and screaming like a silly school girl, its THAT good.

Steve is a genius when it comes to writing music...he's outdone himself this time...its incredible, and I can't recommend it enough."
