Seriously uppity, hard-hitting, silly but fun: punky, garage-a-boogie rock n’ roll with a clawhold on your ears. A local cornerstone in the REAL Rock n’ Wrestling (n’ Kung Fu) connection. Imagine Rancid Vat crossing with the Dictators in a loser leave town match. Plenty of local shoutouts including “Redwood City, Rock Redux” with ex-KOME/KSJO DJ Dennis Erectus (local pre-Howard Stern “shock jock” and rather bad-ass in his 80’s prime).

((((1)))) Awesome spoken word rant taking a pro-mullet stance. (More wrestlin’ hip-toss than ironic hipster).
(((((2)))) Sharp, straight and catchy as hell rock and fuckin’ roll! Verbal chairshot to Learning Annex.
((3)) Silly bronosaurus boogie rock. Ugh! Keep it in the bar. Some funny lyrics, tho.
(((4))) Weird riff starts out like Rush then morphs into a trucker frontin’ Led Zep or Nazereth. Typical but with self-depreciating lyrics.
(((5))) Decent, winding riff. Pretty good take on the Leibner-Stoller classic.
((((6)))) Riff rockin’, midtempo roller ‘ala early Rancid Vat. Like the mighty Vat this is all about REAL pro wrestlin’ – no WWF shit!
((((7)))) Big, twangy instrumental rambler.
((8)) Silly as hell single entendres for Hofbrau style sex. Pretty decent guitars.
(((((9))))) Perfect guitar sound and vocal attack super infectous.
(((10))) Slow intro then sludgey ode to uh…they’re finishing wrestling hold? Their deadly kung fu grip?
(((11))) Slghtly surfy, roust-about instrument not too far from say, Pell Mell.
((((12)))) Big, electrifyin’ cheese but amusing as hell.
(((13))) Kinda tough sounding rocker with some cool & catchy choruses.
(((((14))))) To the point and a guitar heavy celebration of RWC and analogue. Dennis Erectus guest appearance. Awesome!
