"Santi and the gang....come correct!
This album is a nice throwback to the early era of Punk Rock music & a look towards the future of Black Rock music. Even
though Santi sounds like Gwen Stefani a bit. If you like
Bad Brains, Clash, and Blondie.. Then this album should
make a wonderful part of your collection. The downer about
this album is... IT'S TOOO SHORT!!! Can't wait for the Full
length. Check Stiffed out when they come to your town."

The new fab-four

"Stiffed's debut EP, Sex Sells, released on new indie label Coolhunter, successfully captures the magic of the band's live performance on tracks like What You Gon' Do and Yes, without compromising the creativity of its artistically diverse members. Chuck Treece provides the intensity he has gained from touring with Soul Brains(Bad Brains) on drums, while guitarist Chris Shar and bassist Matt Schleck create impeccable harmony, gained from years of playing together in North Jersey's The Lottery. The crux of the group's sound is the melodic and unbridled vocals of White, whose Blondie and Cocteau Twins influences are apparent in her uninhibited delivery. Collectively, Stiffed provides a fresh, hybrid sound that defies classification. The appeal of Sex Sells, in conjunction with the unreleased live material, distinguishes Stiffed from the average indie band. Listeners beware: Stiffed could very well be the next virus to infect headphones everywhere."

"This EP is very tight, every track is great, just like any classic EP should be and this will be someday. Santi's voice and lyrics are rock star material and the band is tight."
