Dirty Sweets "Bubblegum Damaged" CD/LP
If I could have a dad, I'd want him to be Greg Lowery, the G. Lo… Mr. Lowery, will you adopt me? FUCK YEAH! FUCK YEAH! THE DIRTY SWEETS! It's all about the 'Sweets and me, Joe Domino… The Dirty Sweets bring on what Rip Off Records is infamous for-slit up, snotty, lofi, killer fuckin' rock 'n' roll! These Texan fags just don't stop their constant onslaught of----"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!"----
!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! !!!!! One of the best Rip Off records… Ever! (JD)

Dirty Sweets "Bubblegum Damaged" CD/LP
I had high expectations for this record after seeing how everyone was busting a walnut over this band. After the first listen, I thought, "this is good, you know typical Rip Off." The 3rd listen I thought, "this is pretty good." After the 25th time, these songs are on constant rotation in the radio station in my brain. This is like Loli and the Chones with longer songs and occasional leads. This is like the Spastics, but more punk. And this is good, this is good (shitty Black Flag song, but accurate description of this disc). I'm ready for the Kill-A-Watts now. I got problems with Rip Off though… I have to special-order everything Greg releases. There's only one time that I've walked into the record store and have seen a Rip Off release on the shelf. That's neither here nor there… Anyway, get this fuckin record soon; no fuck it right now! (TC)

From Now Wave Magazine:

The Dirty Sweets "Bubblegum Damaged" CD/LP (Rip Off Records #052)
To quote Greg Lowery, "If you don't like this album, why are you even listening to punk rock?". That just about sums it up right there. The Dirty Sweets are a four piece outta Austin, Texas who play punk rock in the tradition of Nikki & The Corvettes, Spastics, Bobbyteens, and Loli & The Chones. In other words, female fronted garage burners with an "I don't give a fuck" attitude. If you don't fall in love with lead singer Penny Tration the first time you hear her belt out the tune "Bitch Fight", then you obviously aren't attracted to women, if you dig me. Raw, fast, and to the fuckin' point; easily the best album of the year so far. (JOHNNY PROBLEM)

From Gullbuy.com:
CD / THE DIRTY SWEETS / Bubblegum Damaged / Rip Off Records
Debut album from Austin punkers. Fast and dirty, catchy and simple -- just like you'd expect from Rip Off -- with a foxy ass-kicker for a lead singer. Dig Loli & the Chones? You'll dig The Dirty Sweets. The Dirty Sweets songs are short and to the point too -- only four of the twelve tracks are over a minute and a half long. Maybe not the greatest record I've heard recently, but then I've been hearing a LOT of stellar punk lately. Still, really good. Fave tracks are "Teenage Jerk," "Bitch Fight," "Born to Die," "Kill That Guy," "Dance Party Massacre," "Singles Action" and a cover of Snuky Tate's "Can You Dance to It" (you know it from Killed by Death #18).
