"If you love rockabilly you need this CD. If you don't love rockabilly listen to this CD and you will. Rockabilly represents all that is great in music, form great musicians to stripped down lyrics that make you tap your feet and sing along. Frantic Flattops have remained true to the genre, yet bring a new enough sound to not make you think, "oh I've heard this before". A important CD for anyone who loves rockabilly."

"These boys cut through the waves of mediocre and formulated rockabilly by simply doing what they do best: Rocking like Hell. My only complaint is that I didn't run into this band earlier."

"My friend & I see the Flattops every time they're in Rochester year after year. This CD is the next best thing to hearing the songs live with their thumping bass and swingy beats. Absolutely love "Wake up, get up, get out"."

"The boys from Rochester NY have done it again. This album has it all: swinging melodies, thumping bass, woe-is-me lyrics, and lots of ink!!! Every song on here rocks, especially "Sweeter Seventeen", "Witch Doctor" and "Black Eye Blues". They tour a whole lot, so if you get a chance to see them- GO!!"
