"After reading a review of this disc in Blue Suede News, I picked it up and it was totally worth it. Mystery Action rocks big on tracks like "Fan" and "Conspiracy"; Delivers solid pop hooks "Ms. Constance" (with a nod to Elvis Costello) and "Trade Publication"; And, tells Brit-Mod stories eloquently on "Conspiracy" and the Clash-inspired "Some Kids Will Riot".Mystery Action's influences come through loud and clear: The Who, The Small Faces, The Ramones and Elvis Costello....good stuff! I love this CD and it is recommended."

Late-60's style POWER-POP!

"Seattle's Evan Foster just keeps getting BETTER as he goes. 5 BOSS MARTIANS albums down (with another on the way) and he finds time to start a 2nd band dedicated to the late 60's to supplement all that early-60's surf & hot rod stuff. WOW! I played this almost NON-STOP for a month after getting it! Hard-driving 60s-style ROCK & ROLL with tons of Hammond Organ work and even some horn sections tossed in for good measure make this an exciting package. And your eyes will be knocked out by the HOT electric PINK they used in the packaging. Anyone who digs Philly's MONDO TOPLESS absolutely NEEDS a copy of this! A fab cover of the Sam Cooke song "Shake" rounds out a collection of powerful originals. DON'T wait! Get it NOW!"

Awesome, hard driving sound!

"I had to take a road trip just to listen to this album in the best venue... the car, the open road, the windows down, and the volume up high! Reminded me of Elvis Costello, but much more listenable. Once it starts it doesn't let up and you get caught up in the excitement. These three guys obviously love the music they make. Very well done."
