Editorial Reviews

Janelle Jones, Skratch Magazine

Tough rock 'n' roll/proto-punk, which harks back to greats like The Stooges, Rocket from the Tombs and The Dead Boys.

Product Description

Parent-teacher conference nights just haven’t been the same since the Nads’ raucous, 12-track manifesto Backasswards hit campuses across San Francisco. Do the math: fifty percent Frank Frazetta styled airbrushed rawk, fifty percent old school punk. Tightly produced and wound up with hooks a-plenty, the Nads evoke a harder, darker time when guitars ruled the Earth and punk rock first crawled out of the primordial ooze that was heavy metal. The twin deities of the MC5 and Thin Lizzy ruled mankind then, blasting their high decibel prophesies from cigarette lighter illuminated altars. It is from this same solid stone that the Nads are carved. From the fast and ironic "Stupid Love Song," through the heavy "Boffin’s Necklace" and into the pumping rock of "Saigon Hooker," the band shifts through a cycle of riff-laden energy that begs for more volume. Packaged in a full-color original cartoon cover from Chuck Sperry with graphics by Dirty Donny, this li’l monster is sure to stiffen even the most flaccid member of the listening audience!
