The Razorbacks
"The latest record by New Jersey's Razorbacks is a live recording that sounds really good for it being live. Most of their good songs are here including some covers that aren't found on their previous studio releases. Being the closest sounding band to the Stray Cats, it is natural that a Stray Cats cover is found here, 'Rumble in Brighton'. Live records are usually hit or miss in the sonic quality and this one is a solid hit with good levels on all instruments and vocals that could pass off as a studio recording if not for the in-between song chatter and applause. Not an essential record but if you like the Razorbacks, you'll want to get this one to finish out your collection." The Rockabilly Review
"Meanwhile, talk about a roundabout route to making a name for yourself! Meet the Razorbacks, the coolest New Jersey export since a certain blue-eyed crooner from Hoboken, and no doubt the baddest-ass rockabilly band on the planet! But yet they had to go all the way to the UK to get a record deal. Go figure. Happily, for Razorback fans far and wide, their newest release is a live cd, recorded at the Bank And Blues club in Daytona Beach, FL. Live releases can be a hit-or-miss affair, but this one does a fine job of capturing the bands' raw musical energy, along with their spirited allegiance to all things rockabilly (ie. leather, cycles, DA's, stand-up basses, and hot rod Lincolns). And it doesn't hurt that the band is a big draw during Daytona's annual Bike Week. The audience's sense of fun and their great spirits is very apparent here, and it enhances the overall mood of the record. Even more fun can be found in the very diverse set-list, which features some bitchin' Razorbacks originals like 'Cruisin' Down', and the oh-so-true 'Empty Promises'. But as every stray cat knows, the classics are the best. Check out these cranked-up-to-11 covers; Gene Vincent's 'Blue Jean Bop', Springsteen's 'Stand On It', Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues' and a killer romp through the 'Munsters Theme'. And though this might be slightly... well, sexist to point out, we will anyway, only because we heard this no less than three times on our last trip to the ladies' room. Bassist Rob 'Bobcat' Bundy possesses a pompadour that the ladies actually wanna run their fingers through. Hey, if nothing else, it's worth noting any time a man can get that height out of straight hair without any visible Hair Aid. And, well, it wouldn't be rockabilly without the hair, now, would it? Yeah, baby!" M C 2002
