Comments: Love the band name! They sound eerily similar to their homosexual counterparts, Hunx and His Punx. What does that even mean? Well, if you are like Benny Boy Tan and don’t get the obscure reference, let’s just say lo-fi garage. If you listen to both bands, you’ll get a great idea. I don’t know if I just got a really crappy quality download or if this is the real deal, but if the vocals were clear this thing would be much better. We got some Herman’s Hermits in here! I would definitely see this guys live, so I better not forget them.

Grade: 9.1
