 Fantastic... February 6, 2008
Two guys from Akron Ohio spilling their hearts out through very raw guitar riffs. The lyrics are pretty good too...
Meet me at the bottom. October 12, 2006
This CD has one of the best versions of Sleepy John Estes classic "Leavin' Trunk". My goodness, the song is almost tailor made for Dan Auerbachs tormented, distorted vocals.
This is one of the most talented young bands around. They've succeeded with a sound that's all their own and with minimal equipment. I wish them every success.

Pragmatically getting the job done of equal parts rockin and bluesin, yet somehow managing to reinturpret some of the oldest sounds in the book and make it sound hip to indie ears is a hard feat indeed. Few bands play with such lack of pretense and irony that it is utterly refreshing in it's sincerety to here these guys do what they do. There is a definite repetition of sound that can bog the disc down, but that self-less raw-ness always seems to kill the monotony, especially on those few hard hitting songs with insanely delicious riffs in all their tonal simplicity.

I found these guys listening to Pandora online one day. Had no clue who they were or what they were about. Who knew some awesome blues could come from two skinny fellas from Akron, Ohio recording in a basement!!!??? First song I heard was Brooklyn Bound - great super dirty gritty blues sound that I love. Came to Amazon to listen to more clips and bought on the spot! All three albums carry through this great sound...I honestly can't pick a favorite album. Here are my top three fav songs on their three albums released to date...
Off The Big Come Up
Busted
Do The Rump
Brooklyn Bound
Off Thickfreakness
Title track - Thickfreakness
Have Love Will Travel
Hurt Like Mine
Off Rubber Factory
Just Couldn't Tie Me Down
Grown So Ugly
Keep Me
Really good stuff if you are into thick, gritty, full sounding blues style music.

Butt shaking music. If you like bluesy rock you'll love this. Not as refined as there 3rd Cd, much more primitive. Drums and guitar. Play it loud.
