Reviews & Opinions

JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #10, DECEMBER 1983: This one really breaks the TEST TUBE mold. "Jinx" is a brilliant post-punk number with speed, power, and a smashing guitar riff; "Trapper ain't got a Bird" is a humorous reggae jam. No standard funnypunk here.

Additional Notes

'The Jinx' is a remixed version of the song from The Mating Sounds Of South American Frogs.
