Press Reviews Exclaim: Exclaim ReviewsArtist : R.E.FLEXXXTitle : Freaks For Fun Genres : Goth, Industrial, MetalWith fuck all else to do in Peterborough, it’s not surprisingthat a home studio album from R.E.Flexxx (aka Rob Howard), would be so good. His debut album could easily put him on the right track to be in the leagues of other notableCanadian industrial bands Download, Skinny Puppy and Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson into Freaks for Fun tomake it very cool and modernistic. A perfect example is opener “Down,” which has an industrial sound lingering in thebackground, while a metal Zombie-fied guitar takes centre stage. He doesn’t one up Zombie, but he does come prettydamn close. The screeching Manson vocals should hook you. The lightening fast pace on instrumental “Shark Attack”creates a Jaws-like hysteria with its fast guitar hooked around some pretty mean industrial strength sounds. Notcontent to keep the music in a NIN meets Manson groove, “Weeks” has a few gothic moments. Now all Howard needsis an image to go with this album and he’s all set. The first step would be to leave Peterborough behind, and indulge insome live shows. Matt Mernagh - September 28th 1999 (http://reviews.exclaim.ca/show-review.php3?albumid=345)
