Press Reviews www.thepimps.netReview 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.

($4 Underground Medicine POB 5775 Milford CT 06460 ************************************************************************Review from Flipside #121PIMPS "Wicca Chicka" EP Four Songs, garagey/'77 non-difficult punk from VA Beach, I don't really understand the lyrics ("Cruisin for Creation a can of beer," "Nose Pain won't you let me down") but the musical parts sure are catchy. It's got a big hole, if that matters. -Cuss Baxter(Rapid Pulse PO Box 5075, Milford. CT 06460; pimps@exis.net)************************************************************************Review from WWW.worldwidepunk.com The Pimps - Wicca Chicka 7"It's really too bad that these guys have the worst name, record cover, and record title ever, cause this totally rocks it out '77 style, and has some of the coolest '77 punk songs I've heard in a long time. 1977 to be exact. If the track "Dying Nation" was put out 23 years ago it would still be today, the undisputed `official punk rock anthem'. It's like"Here lies this dying nation, kiss the last generation, gumball junkie, love life flunkies, we're the lost generation." Fucking genius! Rhyming nation with generation, and then generation with generation: pure gold! The rest 3 songs follow in Dying Nation's path well, but don't quite match up to the amazingness. I don't really like the track "WiccaChicka" that much because it's a really stupid word. But it's cool cause they make fun of goth chicks. Reviewed by Ken: July 8, 2000************************************************************************Review from Mike SOS www.sosnyc.comThe Pimps Geeking Dream Promo CD The Pimps are a punk quintet from Virginia that take the punk music movement off of the MTV and back to the old school. 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) ************************************************************************
