Press Reviews Johnny Tinnitus posted 10-11-99 06:34 PM Artist: the Retreads Song: Misery This used to be my absolute favorite kind of music when i was about 14-16, so i'm kinda biased. Catchy, fun, energetic. Great harmonies. You guys show a good range of dynamics. Lots of punk bands have that one super fast NOFX beat and that's all they do. You're actually hitting the snare on the offbeat sometimes. Nice. I dig this a lot. You guys are raw and personal, yet ust polished enough to be accurate. That's to me how punk rock should be. Very nice job, boys. I don't really have any suggestions for improvement. If anybody likes catchy, poppy, punk songs, i'd give these guys a listen.
