This was the mighty Humpers at the hight of their super powers and anyone who saw them live during this era knows what I'm talking about. Fast, F#%ked and furious just about sums up the brutal power of The Humpers on stage. The only real problem with this record is that the production is just a little too clean. The Humpers were best seen live and up close. The perfect band for drunken, chaotic fun. All of that said, The Humpers really knew how to bring Heartbreakers/Chuck Berry style rock'n'roll into the present and blast the genre right into the future. 1000 years from now people will be scratching their heads wonderin' how this band didn't have top 40 hits. The Humpers would have beat me up for saying that.

This was their debut release on EPITAPH and I first taught they would change their style of music a little bit - but it didn't happen! This CD is one of my faves I have because of the 17 tracks there's no failure and includes great kick-ass hits like "Wake Up & Lose", "Loser's Club", Rocket & The Retards", "13 Forever" and many more! The alb. title says all about the music: fast, fucked & furious in the vein of great bands like JOHNNY THUNDERS, DEAD BOYS, SAINTS or SEX PISTOLS. Buy this record and rock the house!!!!

THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST 10 ALBUMS EVER RECORDED IN MY OPINION IF YOU CARE. FROM THE OPENING CHORDS OF "WAKE UP AN LOSE" WITH THE CATCHY RIFF OF "SOUL SURGEON" FOLLOWING, THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING THIS BAND. WHEN "BEYOND BELIEF" AND " "YOU DRIVE ME BATS" BLARE THROUGH YOUR SPEAKERS YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO READ THIS GO BUY THE REST OF THEIR ALBUMS. THE ONLY BAD THING IS THAT THEY SUPPOSEDLY WILL NOT BE TOURING AGAIN. TOO BAD FOR YOU, I SAW EM 4 TIMES..... BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN ENJOY "APOCALYPSE GIRL" FOR THE FIRST TIME AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.
