"Wild mix of the Dolls, the MC5, the Stooges, pre Rollins Black Flag and a whole lot of 60's garage rock hooks. These guys make it all seem so easy. The twin guitar sound is as big and thick as a wrestler's neck, and it's perfectly complemented by singer's WWF approved holler. Beyond the flooring impact of the sound, it's the songs that make this platter so hard to remove from your deck. Numbers like 'I'm not your nothing' have all the simple, stripped down, brilliance of the early Ramones. Pefect for greying punks like yours truly - as for the young 'uns, their future is safe in these tattooed knuckles: this is the real deal!"

Rip Roarin' Fun and Nuthin' More!

"For those about to rock... Electric Frankenstein salutes you!
This combo must have been breastfed with their copies of "Raw Power" by Iggy and The Stooges holding their mother's milk. They destroy any pretext of a quiet evening at home... God bless 'em. The CD opens with the caution monolog re-read from Universal Pictures 1931 epic Frankenstein and never lets up. Pure PuNk explosions from every track with no time for a breather. Truthfully you can't help but get sucked into EF's pure rock view of their distorted yet cranked up, oversexed pandemonium universe. It's nothing new, but who cares? They do it well."

The Smashing Pumpkins must die !

"Wow! This record is just what we need to crush the " alternative " and Swing scene into a million pitiful pieces! Damn, this stuff rocks! These cats are really ugly and snotty! This band takes all of the raw energy of American rock'n'roll, mixes it with some New Jersey attitude and comes out screamin'! Oh yeah!"
