Press Reviews "These guys stand alone with an innovative genre, ground that¹s not been covered in a long while by a band that has the skill to pull it off." - deathrock.com ------ "I don’t like country music at all, but I can't resist Ghoultown’s twisted lyrics and zombie-dusted spaghetti guitar twang." - StarVox e-zine" ------ The music itself is flawless. The guitars, drums and bass all work together perfectly to capture the sound of the genre with added bonuses like horns and harmonicas." - deathrock.com ------ "I can't help but play the CD over and over again. The music is seriously addictive and breathes new life into the stale rock scene." - Houston's Other Paper ------ "It's kinda like Bonanza meets Charles Manson." - Indie-Music.com ------ "Killer in Texas is a beautiful song in a musically morbid way. Literally, it chokes me up when I hear it." - Rock N Roll Purgatory
