Press Reviews Review from MRR June 99 issue #193THE PIMPS - " My Dad Smokes Crack" EP Well shit howdy! This is great! Absurd lyrics, that are as much shouted as they are sung, over four cuts of very catchy mid-tempo punk rock, which sounds like a mix of THE SEX PISTOLS, DEAD BOYS, HEARTBREAKERS and '50s rock and roll. Now, I know Many bands are mining this territory as of late, but trust me, this band standshead and shoulders above much of the pack. Very snotty, very catchy, very cool and the song "strap on Sally" is a must hear.

It's got a big hole, if that matters. -Cuss Baxter(Rapid Pulse PO Box 5075, Milford.

No cheeky Blink 182 stuff here, folks, just some catchy 3 chord ditties chock full of stereotypes ("Nose Pain,") generalizations and derogatory, defamatory commentaries ("Drugs Sex Violence.") Ah, the way punk was made to be. Contact these guys at pimps@exis.net. See Thepimps.net ************************************************************************Review from Noise From The Grave THE PIMPS: "Wicca Chicka" 7" EP YESSSS! These VA cats've got that rockin' punk 'n' roll style down pat! 4 real short blasts of high-screechin', rock 'n' roll venom that proves that real punk is still out there and ready to strike at any moment. This is one explosive record! -Brian (Rapid Pulse, PO Box 5075, Milford, CT 06460) ************************************************************************
