These guys sound like they discovered Back to the Grave and Aussie punk at the same time and had a hell of a party while they tried to channel their influences into a Texas free-for-all. What a good time this record is- plenty of variety and plenty of hooks to go with the p-time energy. Singalong choruses! Signature breaks! Collect 'em all! I want to leave for Austin in the morning, where I once fell in love with a girl on the street and as she glided away into the dark Texas night I could see my youth evaporating in her wake. This record sounds like the moment before she left, when possibility still hung in the air like the cheap lying dream of a better day.

A shockingly balanced look at the Hunter S. Thompson legacy bonanza from an even more shocking source- the WST- for my money, this guy gets it, especially the closing line
orville is also playing drums in manhunt
