I got somethin' to tell you
author: Little Richard
You got to be placed into the dipper, and pulled back down on the world, and then men will see your works and glorify God Jehova! The breakups play that rock and roll guitar so good... they have that thing just rumpin' and pumpin' up under my toes... sometimes it make my big toe shoot up into my boot! They do it so good! They give all to ya... and that's what you want, you want it all or none. They here to spread joy to the world. The end is not yet, and they're here to take us higher!

Primitive now, for the future.
author: Shorty Long
Aww yeah, think back a little …
Think incense and peppermints, and strobe lights and what was that was – mull over those rolling stones, rolling bones and a summer that lasts forever – lemme hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah - the fuzz is the buzz, getting kicked off the football team is your crowning scholastic achievement and growing your hair long is waving a flag that has yet to be freaked.
DC's break-ups is the '66 GTO pulling into your girlfriend's driveway for the first time - park it next to her dad's Plymouth - hey, take it easy old man, it's cool... it's cool...
Think now…
If your bag, Jack, is about snotty, snorted vocals, wailing over the swell and swirl of a Vox Continental, complimenting and then colliding with the smashed/blocked guitar chords and pounding drums of thee most primitive punk rhythms, then this cd is your boy. The breakUps stir it all up in a punk/r&b stew of, with the exceptions of two covers by Q65 and Larry and the Blue Notes, all original tunes.
You can't escape comparisons to classic and contemporary bands like the Mysterians, the Greenhornes, Mummies, the Animals, the Monomen, Lyres, Love, Them... but these guys are very now and very DC - dig it. Most importantly, they got soul, brutha.
Fave tunes are the fuzz-toned stomper "Knockin' at Your Door," "Tossin' and Turnin,’” with it's stripped down two-chord groove, the overblown guitar driven "Alice Brown's Blue" (dig the gang vocals), "Baby Sez" with it's grinding emo chords, the psychedelic and menacing "Black by Six," the unresolving drive and riff of "Discourse with Jaxon," and the kickin' opener "Everybody's Girl."
Think forward…
My hair gets longer with every spin of this disc. Like I said before, I dig it - now it's your turn.
