Imagine a blend of The Cramps, Joy Division, Tom Waits, and Lightnin’ Hopkins. Now drench it in blood and make it play a theremin – extremely well – at gunpoint. ‘Nuff said.
- The Santa Fe New Mexican
. . . are a throwback to the dangerous edge of The Stooges and the serrated humour of The Cramps, adding theremin and mellotron to their gothic garage for atmosphere to spare.
- Rue Morgue Magazine
. . . combine surf rock, punk, and the Doors, topping it off with an eerie dosage of Ennio Morricone–inspired gunfight licks that fit seamlessly into the band’s tales of desert-highway depravity.
- San Francisco Bay Guardian
