Editorial Reviews

Tuscaloosas' tri-guitar powered smash n' roll titans, the Dexateens, cordially invite you to kick the shit offa your shoes and partake in the sanctifin' sounds of the new rising South on their Estrus Records debut full length testament, THE DEXATEENS CD! Recorded by Tim Kerr in three separate sessions that included two at the fast becoming legendary Sarcophagus Studios and one other in Alberta City Alabama at 600 studios on broken gear in their friends grandmother's rental house, these boys deliver 13 tracks of nitro-crack fueled Black Flag meets Black Oak Arkansas "skillet rock" stomp that head-on's like a mosh pit at a monster truck rally! High-energy, southern-fried punk 'n' roll honed on the same house party circuit that sparked the likes of Man or Astro-Man?, The Quadrajets and The Immortal Lee County Killers. While comparisons to their comrades in arms are inevitable THE DEXTEENS have honed their own brand of three guitar spit n' shine, pepperin' their power chords with Byrdsian guitar bendin' bravado and torn up vocal harmonies that will have you kickin' yer heels so hard you'll bust thru the boards! So, slap on those shit-kickers, reinforce the porch and get ready for the moonshine fueled, 44 Magnum propelled, Mountain Man Rock get down of THE DEXATEENS! Recorded by TIM KERR. Sleeve design by ART CHANTRY.

5.0 out of 5 stars southern fried rock, January 24, 2004

This new release from Estrus (the label that knows rock) is a great mix of honky-tonk blues and down home southern rock madness. It's the cd your collection is missing.

Well, first off I'd like to congratulate this band for getting where they are. I live in the town where they play and its really amazing to see them get more noteriety and actually have a cd that you can buy in music stores. The cd is really great. It's mostly just balls out rock n' roll, i don't want to describe their music by saying it sounds like "so and so" meets "so and so". The cd is really good tho, they even have an acoustic track which suprised me because ive never seen them play softer stuff at their shows, but the cd is great and definitely worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thunders down South, February 4, 2005

Johnny Thunders bids farewell to his beloved devotees in NYC and heads south of the Mason-Dixon line. After months off bopping around the honkytonks and more than a few unpleasant run-ins with the local yokel, that famous southern hospitality finally starts to win him over. One kudzu-covered day, while hitching down a long stretch of 'Bama scenic byway, he happens upon one of the worst bus wrecks ever. Headline reads: Mick Jagger Dead! But the show must go on. Thunders, being the seasoned vagabond of the bunch, wastes no time in flagging down the next ride. Before they know it, Johnny, Keith and the boys are headed to their next big gig in Tuscaloosa. The rest is/was history. And who was that mysterious man who picked the boys up in their time of need? Why, it was Cooter....of course.
