Press Reviews Some British Guy: "Fucken' brilliant! You're puttin us Brits to shame!" (That's good, I think) Wes Nessman from 94.5 KFMX: "They fit in the Blink/Bowling for Soup/Green Day pool but with much more testicular fortitude." The singer from DROWNING POOL (R.I.P.) said that we were awesome when we played with them a long time ago (before they got huge)! Really nice guy...who would have thought?
