This is the Real Thing in R&R

"This is the same review I wrote for the Stop the Future CD. I just love this band. This CD tends a little bit more to punk dynamics and a little less to the New Wave of Stop the Future. I have seen them twice now, the last time with Against Me in a sold out community levitation.



They can probably hold their own to any band playing at this time -- if you want to have fun and not drown is some stupid sxxx!!!



Think: the highest energy, punk chug a chug, new wave melody, and the best front female front person in music today. They need more attention.



Buy both of their CDs and rocket.

Can't say enought about this band so here goes:



I am having so much fun these days rediscovering my R&R roots. The Epoxies are a big part of that. I grew up in the 50s with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, the Wailers, and the Kingsmen. We danced like crazy every Friday and Saturday night. In the 60s I loved both the Beatles, Stones, and many others and found the Delta Blues. I hated the 70s with the Disco Beat until the punks launched with the Pistols -- especially the Clash. The Clash have always been my benchmark for a great band with a real message. I loved the dub reggae of Scratch Perry .. so beautiful. I listened to classical, Jazz, and the blues in the 80s and 90s and missed a lot of great music.



After the 2004 election I was so pissed off that I dusted off my punk record collection and got back into gear and discovered some great punk I missed including Gang of Four, Wire, and the great Fugazi. I saw Gang of Four, Bloc Party, Dick Dale, the Thermals, and Shellac this year in Portland. (A reviewer said that Portland is a bombed-out city -- that is really funny. We have twenty venues a weekend and many of the leading bands in the US here).



I saw the Epoxies last Saturday night and was smiling the entire show. They are just beautiful and so much fun. I get great positive energy from everybody in the band -- especially Roxy. Roxy expresses a big heart with real soul. She has powerful positive energy on stage can only be compared with the Clash's Joe Stummer and a few others.



They should keep speeding their great energy out to us all and tell the story of our times -- always focused on the heart and compassion. They will help so many people have a better life by showing how to combat alienation and lifeless art of MTV and Wal Mart. I recommend reading Guy DeBord on how to combat the alien spectacle through participatory art http://www.bopsecrets.org/SI/debord/



Roxy -- we bow down and thank you for reaching out at the emotional level -- everyone needs to lock hands and be part of the performance.



We must build community and compassion and have fun -- that is what Epoxies music does. The real spirit of rock and roll is alive with the Epoxies... Chuck Berry and Little Richard would love you.."

The Epoxies kick MAJOR arse

"I don't think any of the other reviews do this CD justice! Roxy Epoxy has an awesome voice and all of their songs are great. They're a totally energetic and punk band. SOOOOO GOOD!!! Listen to samples on the Epoxies website if you don't wanna take my word for it..."

New Wave Take Over.
