"after crushing Riff. If you like Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Blue Oyster Cult. You know what I mean by craving Riff after crushing Riff. This band delivers.Bands like this are living in poverty while weak, weak, weak music rules the airwaves and ... bands get rich. Its disgusting."
ATP rules!

"Alabama Thunder Pussy is the best band you've never heard of. ATP delivers once again in their 4th album, their sound is unique as always. Their sound embodies the rage of the defeated south, a hybrid that combines the power and darkness of Black Sabbath with the soul and rightousness of Lynyrd Skynyrd. This album is very powerful, a monstorus growl of anger throughout, with the unrelenting guitar power that ATP unleashes at will. The surprising highlight of the album is the closing track, "Amounts that Count". It has kind of a bluegrass feel to it, but that doesn't mean its a weak track. Its an anthem for the betrayed, done as only the southern masters can. Do yourself a favor and check this album out. Try to find their other 3 albums as well, "Rise Again" , "River City Revival" , and "Constellation". They were small independent releases, but all are great and are worth the effort to seek them out."
Great Band

"I have recently got into this band. And I love what I hear. The best stoner rock/metal sound I have heard in a long time. I know they have other albums out, but it appears ATP gets better with each one. Can't wait to see them live. This band sings with soul, heaviness and attitude. If you like metal with a small classic rock southern touch, this is the band for you."

"Alabama Thunderpussy are, without much consideration, at the top of the mountain in the underground stoner rock/metal scene in 2002. from the opening note of "staring at the divine", it's clear the ATP exhibits above average songwriting skills with their heavy riffing and clever hooks. Recently, I saw ATP with 60 Watt Shaman here in Chicago and though both bands were excellent, ATP just knocked me over with one inspiring guitar part after another. they were just something else to watch live. Alabama Thunderpussy is one of today's most promising bands in the underground rock scene and with a little noteriety, they just might have what it takes to hit it big."
