"...chewing gum. I was surprised to find this compact disk on Amazon. It gives me hope that some "mall punk" will buy it even though The Dirty Sweets haven't been served to them on a platter via videos on MTV2 and singles on "alternative" radio. It just might change their lives forever! The Dirty Sweets and their music are the essence of punk. The simple chords, the pounding percussion, the bad attitude, the total disregard for safety, the aggression, the anger, and the sex stained (female) vocals. The violent beauty that is rock and roll! That's right kids, even with your popular culture defined ears you can hear what punk rock and roll is supposed to sound like! Just find the courage in your faux-hawked, body-pierced, angst-consumed, whiny, Warped Tour attending self, sell your Rancid and Sum 41 records, and spend the money on a record that you can actually play without becoming embarrassed! I dare you!"
