You can feel the high energy from this CD and it makes you forget all your troubles. Great musicianship and diversity of songs keep it interesting. THE DARK SIDE is very haunting and WHITE TRASH DIALOGUE is hilarious especially if you listened to it right after WHITE TRASH. The lyrics are raw and real and I feel that there's a messsage...it's not just about white trash, drinking, etc. You don't have to be a white trash to relate to these songs. - Reviewer: Yumi
An album that starts with "Hillbillies on Speed" and ends with "I Hate Music". How could this possibly be anything but a riotously enjoyable experience? Buy this album, turn up the volume, and dance your heart out. Just don't do the Hippy Dance! - Reviewer: Bill Hilly

I am the bass player for the band, and on the CD's, so I will not rate my own CD, but I would like to let anyone interested know that the song Dead Man's Party is being used in the movie Dead and Breakfast. (Starring David Carradine among others). This movie is now being released in theaters. (August 2005). The movie also has our songs Roadkill Cafe and Hillbillies on Speed in it as well. - Reviewer: Mr. Lance W. Bakemeyer (Elbert, CO)
