"What arrived in my mailbox as just another curious looking cutout from zshops has turned into one of my favorite hard rockin' CDs, in the top 15 of that genre clearly (along with Lowrider, Unida, Hangnail, Goatsnake, Clutch - you get the idea ;o). These guys really belt out the sludgy (but NOT doom sounding) swampy rockin' sounds. It's a bit on the short side but for what you get, as hard pounding as these guys are, you won't be short-changed. They have a really unique sound which is ultimately a Good Thing as it sets them apart from all the other heavy heavy wannabe "stoner" bands but it might take just a wee bit to get accustomed to, at least on first hearing - did for me but I warmed up to it quickly. Quite different from their excellent follow-up CD, this one is more straightforward, balls-to-the-wall rock. Enjoy!"

The drummer's on MTV, but the band never will be ...

"There is nothing pretty about Puny Human. This is raw, unadulterated rock. The native New Yorkers pound through almost an hour of solid rock-n-roll, with no flash or pomp to be found. They rumble along the way Aerosmith did in the 70s, but with more "oomph" behind their rhythm section and more growling than "Dream On"-like wailing. There's nothing particularly special about this record, but it damn sure rocks."
