While the press say things like this:

“Iggy Pop, At The Drive In, Black Francis and ’65 era Jagger joyriding round Dead Man’s Curve at midnight with the lights off screaming ‘I WANNA FUCK YOUR MOTHER!!!’ before ramming headlong into a tree. Fucking incredible.”
NME

“If Playlouder was a band, it would be the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, and there is no higher compliment we can offer.”
