With maximum R&B no longer practiced by The Who, these Chicago power rockers are an able substitute. RSC's third album once more demonstrates why this foursome remains one of the most fascinating bands in Chicago. While most songwriters bend facts with fiction, the songs of Paul Kasprzak are pure gonzo autobiography, namechecking local bars, streets and celebrities in a trustworthy guise for making great rock - the relentless underdog working out his frustration with volume and madcap energy. The songs stream together like slice of life vignettes in the ongoing story of a pharmacist by day, working class rocker by night. Wondering why he's got to work for a living while celebrity poseurs parade inside a local club ("Kid Rock") or have to hire flunkies to baby-sit their dog ("Billy Corgan's Poodle"), Kasprzak injects his catchy and robust Midwestern rock with a passion for music and the making of music that is wholly original.

They put songs first and offer a collection of infectious material based on sincerity and a love of music. Their music delivers the listener to a wonderful new place rarely found elsewhere.
