Someone, though I can't remember who, compared us to "Bob Dylan crossed with My Bloody Valentine". My little brother compared us to "Bob Dylan crossed with Green Day". Henry Daggs called us "a DIY Crazy Horse".
"Bootgazin' over the bar counter, looking at that hot bartender's titties, telling her about the Jesus and Mary Chain".
Most of the songs in the player are OLD OLD OLD. I am currently recording songs that are NEW NEW NEW. Look for the Pharmer EP, to be available this winter. Shit's gonna be NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW.

Nick Twist II play for you some awesome savage hip shaking Lo-Fi/GaragePunk/Surf/PsychoBilly/NastyBlues/PowerPop vinyls directly from the caves of the underground scene and provides you directions to find them out on his blog. Not another cheap nostalgic revival of the legendary 1950's/1960's so called "golden era", but ONLY PRETTY NEW BANDS ON NEW RECORD LABELS!!!
