Press Reviews Primus meets Firehose. A little more funky than Firehose, and Primus doesn't use horns. But in the ten minutes thath this has been on, already someone said it sounds like Firehose, and someone else asked if it was Mike Watt. They also get a little more sensitive than both the bands. A few songs have Danzig like vocals. They got songs that are fast and punk style with punk rock vocals. Lavish Green is such a blend of styles of music, that I actually find it quite interesting...Now they're going into a pseudo ska part, but it's not cheesy like most new ska, and back to the thrash. And then, they get al rastafari, and bust into a reagge number which is pretty cool. I'd be very interested to check these guys out live, they're like a Lollapolloza in one band-JH Concussion Mag
