The Quakes
Voice of America
(Nervous Records)





The Quakes' career lifted off with this roar. 30 years on, and it yet resounds. Economical. vibrant, and hurtling. It was exemplary.

Paul Roman was always a master songwriter. His endeavors were both bracing and tuneful. Actual songs, with memorable riffs, stomp-along choruses, and exhilarating agit-moods.

Many wonderful Quakes discs followed, and all boasted unique charms. But the blast-furnace quality evinced here remains remarkable.

Recommended: "Stick To Your Guns," "One of a Kind," "What Will They Say About Me," "I Gotta Go," "Growin' Up Evil," "All Messed Up."
