Editorial Reviews

Out In The Community is the powerful debut from Portland, Oregon’s The Quags, a band that builds upon the greatest rock grooves from the 1970’s. Co-produced and engineered by Eric Furlong (Sunset Valley, 44 Long), it was mostly recorded live with classic songs that bring to mind the best moments of The Faces, The Rolling Stones, Ziggy Stardust era David Bowie, and The Kinks. More contemporary references might be found with artists like Whiskeytown and White Stripes.

An exciting electric album, energetic rough and ready with a sense of musical history but channeled for the 21st century. On Out In The Community, the band is joyful, raucous, and fiery playing with equal parts musical precision and reckless abandonment.

The Quags play glam rock channeled through the same plaid shirt rock n’ roll party spirit that fueled The Replacements. With smart heartfelt lyrics found in songs like "Danna Was An Artist" and "Living Hell", singer/guitarist/songwriter Dennis Mitchell sounds like equal parts Ray Davies and NRBQ’s Terry Adams.

The Quags’ Out In The Community is an album which should appeal to any rock music fan who ever enjoyed Let It Bleed, Every Picture Tells A Story, and Muswell Hillbillies.

This is an album that taps into the brainy boozer’s penchant for great rock n’ roll This is the album you’ll crave for the next roadtrip.
