Some reviews:



You can take the man out of St. Louis - in this case, Nukes bassist Chuck Lindo, who now lives in LA - but you can't take St. Louis out of the man ... Like his beloved former band, the Professionals specialize in tar-sticky hooks - although their power-pop tendencies belie a fondness for geeky new-wave obscurities and the histrionic harmonies of Queen. BY ANNIE ZALESKI Riverfront Times, St. Louis MO ___________________________________________________________________________ Contentment is the enemy of rock. But happiness and wisdom have not dulled the songwriting skills of the American Professionals' Chuck Lindo. The brains behind the beloved 1980s punk act the Nukes, Lindo has discovered power pop in his adopted home of Los Angeles. New topics of conversation include the joys of procrastination and the serenity that comes once you realize you ain't all that. In the exuberant "Faking It," Lindo reflects on a subject near and dear to St. Louis' heart: alt-country angst. "Some seemed to me to be feigning and deliberately obscuring their work for the appearance of artistic integrity," Lindo says. "I mean, c'mon, man, you know you can actually sing." Hmm, wonder who he's talking about? -BY DIANE TOROIAN KEAGGY St. Louis Post -Dispatch November 3, 2005 ___________________________________________________________________________ “...best of the year honors fantastic…this is one of those records that just says everything about melodic, hooky, catchy music that I could say on the page. Not a bad track to be had—far from it, in fact... a true pop classic... I’m going to be shouting it from the rooftops as loud as I can... it belongs in every pop fan’s collection... Lindo weaves his three-dimensional tales with grace and bottomless talent... it is obvious, from the first song, that Lindo is a major talent and that the American Professionals' debut is simply smashing stuff.” -ALAN HABER, Pure Pop/Buhdge ___________________________________________________________________________ “On their Faking It CD, you’ll hear some of the catchiest powerpop you’ve had the pleasure of hearing in a long while, and that’s high praise at International Pop Overthrow, believe me!” -DAVID BASH- Founder, International Pop Overthrow
