"Close behind their debut 7" Stop That Boogie!, this New York trio follow up quickly with another 45 that's equally enticing. Real Gone Yvonne is uncluttered rockabilly boasting a solid production job but still maintains the band's live zeal. Angelina has a bleak 'death disc' feel to it and along with its strong, vibrating guitar riffs and vocalist/guitarist Brian 'Bobo' Hack's emotive wailing, this is powerful stuff for sure."
"Stop That Boogie! is the most driving of the two tracks and blends swing, rockabilly and country influences into something genuinely exciting. No Way to Love leans further in a Nashville direction and offers a peak at their more reflective side, while vocalist Brian 'Bobo' Hack gets a real chance to unleash some lonesome wails. Both songs are originals and, as a debut release, this shows real promise."
"The top side, 'Stop That Boogie!' is a catchy, fast-paced rocker with a hint of '80s rockabilly."
"...from the intro [Stop That Boogie!] is pulsating number full of energy and pace with some fine guitar breaks and the drummer pounding the beat."
No Way to Love: "Neat Western swing intro and a catchy beat, the lyrics and tune bounce along producing a fast-paced dance song. This number has many characteristics from those golden days of the 50s and the sound produced captured in a time vault."
"To summerize: Two great traditional tracks full of life each to their own...this band has versatility to a high degree, there is another single out shortly to hopefully [be] followed by an album, maybe? Recommended? Hell yes."
"The three extend firm hands to all with their warmly affable innterpretation of time-honored stylings. Jumped-up ear-pleasers and amiably tuneful hillbilly jaunts straight from some abandoned jukebox bounce on springed heels. Here spins American Music for home-folks, whether they're whirling under dancefloor lights or just knocking one back and savoring the bop."
