DOWNBEAT Hits listeners upside the head with a mash-up of Otis Spann blues, Albert Ammons boogie-woogie, Ray Charles soul and Fess Longhair New Orleans R&B. Catch them in a chaotic ballroom!

CAUGHT IN THE CAROUSEL They come across like a ragtime White Stripes, tearing through the 13 numbers here with an undeniable musical velocity.Truly one of the most refreshing musical experiences of the year.

BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE Like Keith Moon chasing a crazed, punked-up Little Richard!
