"Excellent raw album that captures a timeless urban experience

I have listened to the CD many times and have seen the band at least a half dozen times. This first CD of their's is a powerful musical rendition of the glory and darness of urban life. The lyrics and music are well matched sounding like early proto-grunge. John does an excellent job of capturing the joyful melancholy of the Northwest and Urban, while never forgetting that music should entertain. The blend of electric instruments and John's matter-of-fact voice makes an interesting marriage...part folk, mostly punk and a bit of old fashion rock and roll. The self-titled track is perhaps my favorite and is instantly catchy. I encourage anyone who likes this type of music to order this rare albumn, you will not be disappointed."
