Editorial Reviews

The biggest debut album this year is again from Detroit. Wendy Case´s THE PAYBACKS are real Detroit R&R with capital letters. With a killer sound full of energy and fantastic songs these guys and gal are destined to become instante favorites. Also feat. Hentchmen members JOHN AND MIKE AND ROCKET 455 power guitarist MARCO. Their cut on the sympathy from the record insdustry Detrot Comp left everyone begging for more and here it is: ROCK’N’ROLL BABY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget About "The New Seattle" - Let's Dance!, February 18, 2003

We Detroiters have been spoiled over the years, and some would even say we've affected a snotty elitism when it comes to music. But it's hard to be humble with something this infectious rearing its ugly head above the grime and rust. The Paybacks, fuelled by the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold vocals of Wendy Case (who sounds as if she could whip Britney, Christina, and Avril in a four-woman, over-the-top-rope battle royal), turns in a brash set which alternates between sloppy and melodic and although we've heard these three chords a million times over, they never get old when delivered with such enthusiasm and swagger. In a perfect world, songs like "If I Fell" and "Don't Lay It On Me" would be leaving skidmarks all over the radio, although I'm sure the afterburn would be too much for programmers to handle. Chrissie Hynde has to be crying over her tofu burger somewhere...

See them live, buy the cd. It will stay in your cd player and this band will make it big as soon as one song/video gets airplay.
No tracks disappoint. It is hard to compare them to anyone--the wendy o' and jett comparisons are fair but I don't feel they do them Justice. Their sound is FAR more tight and there is no pop crap on this disc.
I wouldn't give many CD's five stars.....
