The band is led by the white-lightning-fueled thwack of upright bassist Chris "Koby" Downs and the aggressive, drunken tirades of lead howler Patrick A., his antihero lyrics often ironically referencing historical notables and incidents, like Emma Goldman and Sacco and Vanzetti ("Riot in Haymarket Square"), and the Lindbergh baby kidnapping ("Lindbergh Baby"), along with the expected redneck uproar of all-night drug orgies ("Blow") or the sexual escapades of the acid-dropping, psychopathic first cousins found on "Sketch" that most would expect from these cretin-hopping hillbillies. Patrick A. blatantly channels the demented, sleaze-a-billy spirit of Lux Interior on the lowlife tirades of "Women and Livin' (Dirty Bits)" and "Mortician Blues" without an ounce of originality, but his sunglasses-after-dark persona does nothing to dissuade us from enjoying the animalistic swagger established on this admirable debut.
