This CD blows my mind every time I listen to it; it's probably one of the best CDs I've ever heard. Their roots are obviously in Rockabilly, (not my favorite genre), but they also have strong Garage, 60's psychedelic, old school punk and heavy blues influences.

I first heard of this band while watching The Rage Carrie 2 one night on cable and I noticed this great song "13 Cats" playing in the party scene when the "Rachel" goes psycho. I read all the credits at the end of the film to see who performed the song and after finding out it was 13 Cats I was a bit disappointed that the song was not available anywhere on CD. Finally that problem has been rectified because that song along with 14 other great songs is on this CD.

Musicianship wise, Danny B Harvey has to be one of the best guitarist's I've very heard on CD outside of the greats of old (Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Hendrix etc). The guitar playing on "Monkey See - Monkey Do" is like nothing like I've ever heard. Every guitar solo is original and inventive. I play guitar and would love to know how he comes up with his these original riffs and solos.

Tim Polecat has one of the greatest rock voices in the history of rock music; I'd compare him to early John Lennon if he were just a little tamer. Judging by his energy and delivery on this CD I?d imagine on stage he?s out of this world.

The drummer Slim Jim Phantom is from the Stray Cats and like the more famous co-fonder Brian Setzer he is a master of his instrument. Surprisingly at times on this CD he sounds more like John Bonham or Keith Moon then the world-renowned rockabilly drummer he once was.

All in all, this is an unbelievable CD. A must have for all fans of The White Stripes, Social Distortion, The Clash and The Yardbirds (my favorite all time band). Do you yourself a favor and give this a listen, I don?t think you?ll be sorry.

can i just say, that i only reviewed this album because no one esle has. this album is gr8 and i sugest you guys cut out that mainstream ... and go 4 this. its really good, and the tunes r wickid! go out and get it! xxxxxxxxxxx

Perfect background/party music for any season, but especially when approaching Halloween & Day O' The Dead celebrations. Everything has that peppy-rockabilly-upbeat flavor to it.

Slickest standout tunes are "Flesh For Andy Warhol" and "Dark Side." Really melodic tunes with pleasantly twisted lyrics!Everything else, while great, works best as party music in that pop-cultured "Mad Monster Party" vein. I hope these former members of The Straycats-Rockats-Polecats stick together for along time. Encore!

I just got this CD and I'm blown away, this CD rocks. Is this the future of Rockabilly? This is not your father's Stray Cats that's for sure. The only drag was I coughed up the extra money for the Japanese import only to find out that a US version is coming out in a few weeks.... Oh shucks, But this CD is so great If the US version has different artwork I'll probably get that one as well....
