Press Reviews "I keep listening to your CD and puts me on my ass every fuckin' time I listen to it. Its a shame its not an "official" release cause its definitely one of the best things to come out the last few years." Mark Falcon gmm records' hudson falcons on the brassknuckle boys' demo "the Brassknuckle Boys- they put on such a GREAT show! they were by far the best band there. i didn't know lafayette was capable of producing such good oi!punk. i hope they get involved in the local music scene and play at all the shows they can. i can't wait to see them again, they're my new inspiration....march 99 w/ blue meanies & alkaline trio." Comments: Hey you guys....I just heard the sound files on your page yesterday...and already I'm a fan...you guys kick ass!!!! Keep doin what you're doin!!!! Oi Fuckin Oi!!!!!!!! Comments: just thought I would say ello to the best band from the mid- west. It makes me proud to see lads like yourselves represent the working-class masses in such a positive way! Life Love and Loyalty. PHIL Comments: My children, go forth and continue to rock. BKB are the only band my Dad doesn't make me turn down, because he appreciates the sentiment of "Fighting Poor" and "For You, Mom." Most of the time, though, he listens to stuff like Olivia Newton-John and the Carpenters. Comments: Best Oi! band in Lafayette! Comments: Brassknuckle Boys kick ass. Brass even rhymes with kick ass Name: MARK MAGEE Comments: Great website,lads!!!..... I was hoping to hear a clip of you doing a cover of "cant kill the blues....."..... and then i was going to sue you!!!!! HA HA!!!...just kidding....good luck with the band.
