5 out of 5 stars The Riverboat Gamblers.......2003-08-20

My cousin introduced me to this, and a band member many moons ago, and WOW is all I can say...These guys really know how to ... Rock!! It's pure-unadulterated-punk-but-not-really-love-it-till-your-heart-bleeds-music...I can't say enough good things about this band or their music. They make me want to go on tour and I can't even play an instrument, or sing -- They're very free with their music and their words and it works. It's just a good time and it makes you smile...and drive fast.

4 out of 5 stars Who Says Christain Rock has to be boring!!!.......2003-02-22

I know the bad reputation that Christain Music gets in the secular media but this band does everything to disprove that notion. Whether it is warning young men against the evils of porn starlets in Jenna (Was a no Show) or how alcohol can ruin a persons life (most songs) The Gamblers do the sort of evanglizing that most young people need to here. Their statements are profound and vocalist Rev. Teko Buller shouts out against all sorts of evils and tribulations that he has hopefully just witnessed and has not personally experienced.

Musically they sound like any number of Rock-N-Roll and Punk bands that dotted the landscape. Their chief influences sound to these ears to include The Turbonegros, The Dictators, The Skeleton Kids, The Rocket From the Crypts, The Patential Johns, The Johnny Thunders, The MC5's and The Ramones. In fact, the band even covers the Ramones smash hit Slug, which warns about the dangers of walking in the woods at night.

One complaint I have about such a godly group of young gentleman is the foul language that is sometimes invoked and the fact that some of the songs seem to be advocating sinful behaviour instead of preaching against it.

Despite this alarming truth , I feel that as long as new bands like this keep appearing, Christain Rock is here to stay.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2002-11-05

In a perfect world, everyone would have this album on their shelf. In a perfect world, radio stations couldn't get enough play out of songs like Jenna, High Rolling and Don't Look At Me. This is honestly one of the best punk albums of the year. With influences like The Ramones, The Misfits and Turbonegro, The Riverboat Gamblers not only retain their own sound, but improve on what's come before. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!
