Album Notes


A fresh accessible sound...the bedrock, though, is obviously rockabilly and swing...like the jam meets the polecats...good, dimensional and eminently listenable.
-Original Cool

Purely original songwriting...Sometimes cool, sometimes frantic...Forget everything you know about Rockabilly, Vancouver's Rattled Roosters will show you the way.
- Sacramento This Week

They aren't pure rockabilly...but the songs are great whatever you want to call it and they can really put on a show. They've also got to be THE best dressed band around by anyone's standards
- Flipside

The new dynamite has been uncovered...It's young and modern and it's called the Rattled Roosters. And it will explode
-32 RPM

This is a fucking brilliant album...an intelligent crossover...fantastic
-Deathrow Database

A no-nonsense rock record that could easily fit into any music lovers' collection
-The Brock Press

The Roosters stand out for a few reasons-most notably the song writing talents...(they) have their own sound it's slick, sultry and supple at the hips
-The Vancouver Sun

A record that captures their high style and pop smarts...impossibly catchy gems
-The Record

The freshest, feistiest rockabilly band I've seen in ages...Maybe ever.
