Over and over the fleshtones have reminded me how great it is to be alive-- this record is no exception and rocks hard. "smash crash", "i'm not a sissy", and "dig in" are pure joy... and do not miss out on seeing this legendary band live, they transcend rock n' roll and will alter your state of conscious and change your life-- forever.

Believe it, Daddy-O. These guys may be more than 20 years into their career, but they kick it out with more passion and power than just about any band on the current garage scene. This album rocks like nobody's business with such should-be hits as "I'm Not a Sissy" and "Laugh It Off." Great stuff...and you MUST catch them live if they come to a club near you. They are nothing short of AMAZING!!!

I used to ask Peter Zaremba to let Ed Cobb produce their material but the Fleshtones have out-frugged the master. The songs are often retro in structure and content but the tone betrays a world-weary savoir-faire. The production is upfront and invigorating: a muscle car, but only one hand on the wheel. To quote the bard, "Light fuse and roll away."

They finally did it! The Fleshtones have been making decent records for years but More Than Skin Deep is one of their best. I would describe it as: slinky, raw, fun party-garage-rock. Perfect for a House Party! Super Rock at it's finest!
