every band and friend we have on myspace. We're choosy.
P.S.
As much as we'd love to have many new folks as friends, if you have racist logos on your pages, we can't approve.

Gonzai Music Magazine, France
It's an open door to some orgasmic music, music that was made in the way Tarantino makes movies, millions of ideas put together reminding of what we love in music.
- Little Johnny Jet
The Santa Fe New Mexican
Imagine a blend of The Cramps, Joy Division, Tom Waits, and Ligntnin' Hopkins. Now drench it in blood and make it play a theremin - extremely well - at gunpoint. 'Nuff said.
- Rob DeWalt
San Francisco Bay Guardian
. . . combine surf rock, punk, and the Doors, topping it off with an eerie dosage of Ennio Morricone–inspired gunfight licks that fit seamlessly into the band's tales of desert-highway depravity
Phoenix New Times
The Mission Creeps: Oh, the horror-surf!
. . . this quartet oozes out reverb-heavy, slinky music in the fine tradition of “horror-surf” bands like The Cramps and the HorrorPops, creating a creepy, ambient vibe that would make the band’s songs at home on any Quinten Tarantino or neo-noir film soundtrack.
- Niki D'Andrea
Eugene Weekly (OR)
Case of the Zombies
. . . . James Arrr has the perfect voice for this genre of music — a little Elvis mixed with some Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash.
Tucson Weekly
Their haunted shed includes handy tools such as reverb-rich surf music, Phil Spector's wall of sound, R&B rave-ups, blues, honky-tonk, garage rock, psychedelia, exotica, sci-fi soundtrack music, sea chanteys and, well, punk and rockabilly.
- Gene Armstrong
The Mission Creeps' songs are in The Graves - directed by Brian Pulido (Lady Death) and starring Tony Todd (Candy Man, Final Destination) and Bill Moseley (Devil's Rejects)
