This review by Roger Moser will give you a poetic idea:
Kick Ass! The Resistoleros crank it out low-down, mean, and nasty like a bunch of filthy, sleaze-lovin' dregs of society flyin' high on booze, smack, and cheap, gutter crawlin' sex appeal. Theirs is a sordid, unsavory sound of pure, undiluted Rock n' Roll at it's most primal, reckless, and heinous with a frenzied, Bowery-style blitz and plenty of ballsy , gut-slashing attitude. The vocals are defiantly delivered with a gruff and belligerent air of devil-may-care surliness. The smokin', high-octane guitar leads simmer in a thick and heavy bombardment of swaggering, drug-addled riffs ala the Dead Boys, Electric Frankenstein, and Dead Man's Choir. The bass and drums roar like a caterwauling graffiti-covered subway train violently rumbling through the seedy, rat-infested underbelly of New York City. No doubt about it, The Resistoleros rock it hard, play it dirty, and shake it loose!! If Sid Vicious, Johnny Thunders, and Stiv Bators were alive today, they'd be feverishly shootin' up a vein-blistering supply of grade "A" street heroin to the decadent, thundering noise destruction of Rock 'N' Roll Napalm.

After seeing yet another Punk Rock band doing the same old shit I wanted to turn back the clock. Wanted to relive the screaming Rock and Roll guitars of The Dead Boys, see the drunks and the junkies before the habits came home, taste the fear as the crowd let loose without any order, feel the energy of rock and roll as it exploded from garages across America in 1979. We wanted to drink like Sid, look like Billy, and fuck like Iggy. This is what The Resistoleros is to me, a pipeline back to a garage where it cost an ass whooping or three just to have a pierced ear. Before there was such a thing as selling out ’cause no one wanted to buy. So buy me a drink, you assholes, and don’t bring your girlfriend around when The Resistoleros comes to town. (Sammytown)
