"Yes, it's Jared & Coady, and yes it's very good. Very loud and rockin'. Basically it's a 2-piece (bass & drums) as a live band...but for this recording, they got some backing guitar help from several sources (one being Dave from THE SHINS I believe). This record will have your head bobbing and your fist punching the air. One part guilty pleasure, and one part warm & cozy feeling. This album leaves me longing for the days when MC DEVILS and KARP both ruled the Pacific Northwest, as well the gaining a large cult following around the U.S. and eventually the world well past their demise. And while they have yet to do a massive tour through the states (they've done quick excursions on the East & West Coasts), they will be everywhere very very soon. For those fortunate enough to see them already, certainly they were not disappointed...
I could go on and on...just check them. You'll be convinced."

"Amazing, the Melvins are an easy but apt comparison. Also Federation X or a less Southern-fried version of Tight Bros from Way Back When (interesting name award). An awesome album in any case. Do yourself a favor . . ."
Pummeling....make sure everything is bolted down.

"This is heavy music the way it's meant to be played. It's somewhat hard to believe that it's only 2 guys creating all this racket. This is bone-breaking sludge of epic proportions. Recommended to fans of Melvins, Mastodon, and High On Fire. Buy it now. I can't wait to hear them team up with King B and Dale C."
Wow... the antithesis of White Stripes

"A wall of sound. Just pummeling low end with vocals that sound like the Melvins. Soo great. This is just sludgy, heavey Seattle rock for the new millenium. And pretty damn catchy too in its own way. Fell in love with this at first listen. Why aren't bands like THIS getting on the radio?"
