3 out of 5 stars Silence.......2004-04-20

I spent much time in Hollywood this year. I stayed in hotels on Sunset Boulevard and some enchanting houses in the hills. I had all my mail forwarded to me from New York. I got a big stack of CDs. It was much crap that I traded in to get the new Eminem CD. But somehow I got this one by The Selby Tigers, which turned out to be the best one out of the bunch. I don't really like punk rock music anymore. I did at some point in 1977 I think, but that was a long time ago. I heard the re-releases of The Feederz and was greatly amused. Yet The Selby Tigers make me want to like them. Their energy and their dual singers both male and female seemed more exciting in a way. I guess that they are from St. Paul, Minnesota. Like Gomez, The Selby Tigers have three singers, but they seem a little more evolved than The Toilet Boys or The Cramps. They are supposed to be a great live band and that is totally believable to me. With titles like "Cheerleading is Big Business" you can tell that they have a sense of humor. I like Wire and Selby Tigers seem like them as much as anyone. The Selby Tigers do have a distinct sound. Punk from the Midwest seems a little more authentic than the California variety. James Joyce recommended silence, exile, and cunning. This band may be more about loud rock rules, home cooked fists in the face, and fun. Songs like "Punch Me In The Face (with your lips)" and "Tell It To The Judge" are more evidence of their sense of humor that doesn't seem to much like an in-joke. Also let me say those band members Arzu D2 and Dave Gardner appear to be very dramatic. I can't wait to check them out live. Their live show must be amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Good Lo-Fi Underground Garage Rock.......2003-02-08

Thats how I would classify this band. I like them. A good combo of Male/Female vocals, a super cool vintage-like sound, and gritty guitars. Whats not to love? If you like The International Noise Conspiracy, Digger, Samiam, or any other hopeless rock bands I would reccomend these guys. Sometimes they get political and thats always good. I just plain love em. Pick up this album if you like anything youve heard by them. You wont regret it.
