SOMETHING FIERCE / THE HANGOUTS SPLIT 7"
LIMITED COLOR VINYL! (comes with CDR!)

Word On The Street:
"Teenage Ruins is a new high mark for the Houston trio. It's just a great punk tune - upbeat, catchy, and rockin' as all get-out, with great backing vocals and melodic guitar leads that are absolutely out of this world. This is music that just doesn't quit - it's so alive and energetic and contagiously hyper that it can make any day better just by entering my ears."
- Now Wave Magazine (Lord Rutledge on Split 7")
"Classic Marked Men thru the way of Buzzcocks '77 sound thats impossible not to shake yer ass to. Fuckin' A-grade stuff!"
- Lowcut Magazine (Jens)
"Hot, juicy and tasting good. The beers to wash it all down sounds like they were smuggled out of the Marked Men's cooler. Melodic jangles and pop gleamings shot through into hyperspace by a agitated punk rock cannon."
- Smashin' Transistors (Dale)
"The guitars roar and drive like a freight train, Steven (ed.) "Babyface" Garcia croons over the top like a more-tuneful Joey Ramone, and classic UK power-pop melodies straight out of the late '70s/early '80s lurk just below the ragged edge of the music. Simply put, it's a perfect anthem for teen rebellion, just like the song's title implies..."
- SpaceCityRock.com (Jeremy Hart on Split 7")
"This is the sound of a band that truly believes it can set the place on fire! Whatever that elusive quality is that separates truly awesome punk rock from generic thrashing, this band possesses it in abundance...I hear definite similarities to a lot of the bands mentioned above (Marked Men, Beat Beat Beat, The Ends), as well as to other modern-day staples of hooky old school punk (Stitches, Clorox Girls). Yet this trio has its own sound that's carried off with distinctiveness and panache."
- Now Wave Magazine (Lord Rutledge on Come For The Bastards)
"This Houston three-piece plays bouncy, tuneful, snot-nosed punk rock sounding something like RED CROSS meets THE STITCHES...Definitely worth checking out...."
- Maximum Rock'N'Roll (Paul Curran)
"This Houston, TX three-piece mixes street-punk romps with pop-punk sensibilities on their thoroughly enjoyable debut full-length."
- Punk Planet (BN)
"Come For The Bastards is honestly one of the best local releases I've heard in a while, a full-on, snarling blast of sweat-soaked rawk that kicks its way into your head and stays. The band certainly lives up to their name; from the very start of the opening title track, guitarist/singer Steven "Baby Face" Garcia, bassist/singer Niki Sevven, and drummer Red Rocket are a ferocious, unstoppable force."
- SpaceCityRock.com (Jeremy Hart)
" Unadulterated Punk from an Unpretentious Band "
-Houston Chronicle (Sara Cress)
"Andrew is more than just the unstoppable Red Fro of comic book fame he is a freaking beast on the kit while Nikkis basswork and Stevens guitarwork cut ahead of him like an army slicing its way through its opponents. The set was just a non-stop barrage of noise and sweat. What the fuck more do you want? What more do you need? Its just the musical equivalent of being coldcocked for 40 minutes. Ouch!"
-Ramon Medina (Linus Pauling Quartet)
