Sounds like something you've owned for years. Almost Perfect!
author: J.R. Oliver- Earcandy
Think New York Dolls meets Hoodoo Gurus with flashes of Jim Carroll, Lou Reed, the White Stripes, Violent Femmes and Sha Na Na plus many more I can’t put my finger on at the moment. Extremely infectious rock n’ roll with no noticeable filler. The vocals sound a lot like the Gurus stuff. Hell, this is another one of those albums that sounds like something you’ve owned for years. You could play this and the Dead Boys side by side and neither would sound out of place. Very highly recommended!

Buy One Get One
It's nice to hear a garage band doing something different. The Bosch have a full, shuffling sound with a keyboard player who also plays sax and clarinet. The horns give them a 50s rock influence, especially on a couple of hand-clapping numbers and the ballady "Teenage Symphony." Along with rockabilly drumming, skanky upbeat horn lines, and good Lou Reed-ish rock vox, they're raucous in a Who meets the White Light/White Heat era Velvets way, but executed with good, clean fun.

Do I hear the Rolling Stones? It's Freaking Great!
author: Monk
Did I hear a Rolling Stone's influence? I heard a lot of influences on this disc from Brooklyn's The Bosch. It's sixties psychedelic rock infused with elements of ska and punk. It's freaking great! Completely engulfing you with a delivery of spastic, high-energy guitars and vocals, The Bosch don't bring to mind New York… more like the British evasion that brought the world The Kinks. The saxophone leads the rhythm of almost all tracks but often pushed aside by surf riffs and a haunting organ.
R.I.Y.L.: The Buzzcocks, The Kinks, The Who
