Reviews:
"The world is full of children/But I ain't ever had none/Cuz that means it's time to settle down/And give up all my fun"—such go the lyrics to Funeral Drive's "Ballad of Lonnie," a rockin' rave-up that combines the jaded worldview of a rockabilly cynic and the yee-haw exuberance of 21st-century rockabilly. The latter comes mainly in musical form, with the Denton quartet's chunky rhythms, jumping backbeat and perfect timing. "Brite Eyes," for instance, is almost Pixies-ish with its ragged up and down vocals and rhythm guitar shifting from distorted to clean. Singer Jaymes Gregory channels Black Francis and Nick Cave, plus a smidgen of zoot-suited voodoo daddies, while his band raves behind him. Expect a high-energy show, all sweat and booze. And wear something loose—you'll be dancing like crazy."

"Creepy, campy, twangy, funny, incredibly original and thoroughly entertaining."
-- Ayo from KDGE 102.1 FM "They were a very cool mix of Velvet Underground & Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds meets early death rock sound like 45 Grave or TSOL on the Change Today album. The bill reminded me of the old Twillite Room days when there would be a punk rock band mixed with a new wave band with a ska band or what ever the bill was, it was cool not to hear 7 screaming punk bands that all sound the same to me. I really like the sound of these guys and I hope they play out more. Maybe try your hand out in Dallas boys. The crowd although small was really into these guys and I see why they were really good and I recommend, if they play out again that you make it a point to go see them." --The Dallas Unobserver <
