"Ahoy! I've said it before and I'll say it again - Throw Rag is the best band in America to see live. No other band has more energy, charisma, or better rapport with the crowd. But, just because seeing them live in action is preferable to listening to their CD's doesn't mean you shouldn't own them. Buy both Desert Shores and Tee-Tot, they are both worth the price of admission. Now, about the CD. This album rocks hard! The songs have lost the country twang but not one bit of the energy of Tee-Tot. We finally get to hear Jacko (Action Craig Jackson!) sing lead on a studio album (on Please Don't Touch), and bring his, um, *unique* bugle skills to the closing track (Demons in a Row). Lyrics are the same wonderful drunken trailer trash insanity as the last CD with the crazed vocal stylings of Captain Sean-Doe. Franco's bass lines are top notch as well! Standout songs are Hang Up, Beware of the Dog, Mission's Message, Bag of Glue and the aforementioned Please Don't Touch and Demons in a Row. All in all a great CD that won't leave the player any time soon!"

Your new favorite band

"throw rag is currently my favorite band to see live. soooooooo much energy is in their live set, and now it is also in this album. desert shores is more punk than tee-tot. there are lots of sing along parts and very energetic. the songs are all top notch and will have you air-guitaring and pumping your fist, just like at the live show. they are nice people and are not above talking to their fans. i hope the supersucker/throw rag tour will happen every year. if you get a chance check it out."
