i found out about SPEEDBUGGY while reading the fine magazine NO DEPRESSION. the new release, titled "hard core honkytonk" was a real surprise. most of the time, these new bands just miss the point but SPEEDBUGGY obviously comes from the real thing. i can hear it in the singer's twang. there were a couple songs that tried to reach the "alternative nation" crowd (why bother) but most of the record is red hot hard hittin' style country. wish these guys would tour, i guess they're from los angeles (?!?). this is a strong release and i would recommend it to you and yours.

I found out about this band from a friend & he talked me into buying it . well im glad he did, i love it all, country song gets me going every time! cant wait to see them live

Timbo, lead singer & guitarist, used to be known as Timothy Michael Gruse when he played with Sugartooth. Rumor also has it that he briefly did time with Evan Seinfeld's Biohazard. Not sure if that's true or not, but there you go. You're up-to-date on meaningless rock trivia.

So I was pretty surprised when Timbo resurfaced with this outfit, Speedbuggy, & titled the first record "Hardcore Honky Tonk." "We're Talkin' Country...Son!" Not just country, but high-powered, meth-aided country. This record could not have had a better title. 10 blistering, alcohol-fueled cow punk treasures. Take all your favorite old-school country heroes, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, etc., shoot 'em full of steroids and Speedbuggy is what you'd get. Fans of punk, metal, rawk, alternative rock & country will all love what this Los Angeles-based band has unleashed on the public. Fire up the BBQ, invite over your craziest friends, make a liquor run & crank this record all night long.

ITS ONE HELL OF A GOOD CAR DRIVEN C.

This c.d. has its ups & downs but the Kerrang review has got it right. The vocalist has alot of Heart & seems to sing the lyrics like he has lived a hard life. The guitars ( are there 2?) are Great at times but have a very thin sound. Percussion & Bass are a bit jerky & rushed but isnt that what country music is all about. I rated this c.d. 4 stars mainly cause of the Singer. Speedbuggy needs a few more rounds til they find the Tone & Vibe of what they are trying to get across, once they do then im sure you will hear them all over the radio.

not since tex and the horse heads have i rocked so hard .i think they just did a record deal with cargo ,i saw them in san diago with dead bolt it was a great show! the best song on this cd is country song, but in all the cd is great!

I'VE SEEN THIS BAND IN LA THEY ARE A HELL RAISING COWPUNK BAND .THE BEST SONG ON THIS C.D IS COUNTRY SONG .THEY HAVE A SOUND THAT IS LIKE A PUNCH IN THE GUT.
