This CD is a must have, if you love rock, post punk or Music in general. Just get the CD and don't second guess your decision because their really are no "If," "when" or "butts" about owning this baby! Enjoy and review ummm.

It is rare for me to like much less listen over and over to EVERY song on a CD, but the SAMMIES.....they are SMOKIN'. FOR JOHN is a killer tune; for all you Joy Division fans, SHE DIED---some dark stuff there. CARETAKER---another winner; see for yourself---THE SAMMIES HAVE "IT". The CD is much better than any downloads, definitely worth the money.

The Sammies are the kind of group that has existed in the past--was cherished because of originality, great vocals, guitar and bass work-- then disappeared. The Sammies sound is original yet brings back fond memories of that older rock band style. The Sammies have helped fill the void in rock and alternative by bringing their own unique sound, yet also bringing back that older classic sound that seemed to have disappeared, as I mentioned above. This is a group that is going places and do yourself a favor and give them a listen. Some songs hit you the first time (such as Coming Out Wild or Falling Out--the best song on the album in my opinion) and others hit you after multiple listens. There really isn't a bad song on the album or one that you want to skip, which can't be said about most albums. They have a new album coming out September, 2008 and all I can say is go out and get that one and this one. You won't be disappointed.

After hearing these guys rock several shows, I was excited to hear their debut CD. Luckily I got my hands on an early copy (myspace...a place for friends) and love every song on it. Every song on here is catchy and makes you wanna rock. Gymmy Thunderbird, Don Yale, Frank Backgammon, and Murphy Upshaw are my heroes.

If you like indie rock, southern rock or garage rock then this is the CD for you. The Sammies definitely know their musical roots, but what's most important is they know how to have fun. Every song on here is catchy as hell, and makes you wanna get up and party. Buy the CD and learn the words so you can shout 'em along when The Sammies tear up your town!
