4.0 out of 5 stars New Wave Ska Punk Rock..., October 7, 2004

This is a live 8-song ep recorded at a place in Omaha they describe as a bowling alley/pool hall/radio station/volleyball court/nightclub/bar/recording studio. I would be in heaven. I would describe this band as New Wave Ska Punk Rock. All the songs are very cool covers with Elvis Costello/Just Like Heaven, Joe Jackson/Is She Really Going Out With Him, Mott The Hoople/Feel Like Making Love, The Specials/Nite Club, The Who/The Kids Are Alright, Peter Tosh/Downpressor Man, The Buzzcocks/You Say You Don't Love Me and The Police/Man In The Suitcase. I looked up some info on them and it said in 1996 they played 382 live gigs! Also, when I played this on my computer I was surprised to find a pretty funny montage of video clips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, energetic covers, April 14, 2004

I'm a big fan of covers/remakes. I like to see how an artist interprets a song. In this short CD, Goldfinger gives us a series of high-energy, tongue-in-cheek covers. As the saying goes, "They're not pulling any musical punches." But this is FUN! It's also some of the best workout music I know.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice little covers record, April 3, 2002

I remember the first time I heard this record. I was in my friends car and he put this CD in and Goldfinger's thundering fast punk cover of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" came blasting on the stereo. I almost nearly had a heartattack laughing and listened in horror as I heard a great song be in, my first impression, butchered. I wanted to scream when he told me they covered "The Kids Are Alright" but then he let me borrow this album and after several listens, you start to like the covers and you kinda gotta admire Goldfinger in a weird sort of way for covering songs outside of their genre. All and all, this is just a fun covers record. I would not run out to buy this album but get a burned copy from a friend or find a cheap used copy.
