Rock, rock, rock.

"Stupid, brilliant, idiotic, and total genius. What is there, post rock? Rock. There are either three or six of them, covered in blood, broken glass, and premium champagne."

"For a long, brief instant, The Unband existed. As a lifestyle, as a power trio, and as the ripest paean to what makes rock great. Everything was held together by brown liquor and 2 axled things that were jussst gonna make it up 95 north from NYC to Northampton. We were all from Massachusetts or thereabouts. That makes you a certain kind of person. It makes your version of rock not so laid back. Apparently when you cross Yankee tenacity with swift songs about not working and/or feeling like poo, you get The Unband. I don't know why TU (that's a funny acronym) broke up (at the height of its fame, bien sur); cause TU was the last great hard glam metal band. Nothing will take The Unband's place--no one else would dare, or care, to mix warty speed metal with cute outfits and make it all so seriously tongue in cheek...I think the guys in the band got tired of having to be so silly, cool and cliche all the time. Whatever. At least we have this major label debut swan song.
Anyone who loves Motorhead, AC/DC and Motley Crue circa '84-'85 will try to understand. Listen to Retarder and know what a select few of us lived through on the eve of 2000. This album was my life--sleazy, stupid, smart, cocky and embarrassed; rife with cops and beautiful hangers-on.
Although I'm happy to be a housewife in Florida for now, I still shout at The Unband every day.""

"Just when you thought rock and roll was dark and deep comes an outrageous trio from Massachusetts that more than makes up for the depressing Puritans. Hester would have loved them and she would have traded in her "A" for a "U". Where do they get those titles? The Unband rocks!"
