Reds "S/T" CD/LP
The Teengenerate effect has finally hit the USA! Yes boys and girls the Reds
have all the fire and fury of the Registrators. Moreover, if you look at the key
components of bands like Teengenerate and the Registrators you'll hear the
pioneers of punk Devo and the Vibrators. But don't take my word for it, go out
and get this amazing record to hear what the rest of us already know. There're
14 songs including such hot tunes as, "Ready Steady Reds", "Don't
Wake Me Up", and "Move Around." This is gonna be on my top ten
for the year, oh yeah! (JD)

Reds "S/T" CD/LP
Absolutely KILLER Texas punk 'n roll from a band that just keeps upping the ante
with every new release. Unorthodox rhythm fuckery meets the Ramones,
Registrators and Chinese Millionaires in a singular stew that explodes at right
angles. They cover the Urinals, blast a few at rocket speed and display a pop
sense ("Ready Steady Reds," "Don't Wake Me Up") not fully
evident on the three singles. Right up there with the top Rip Off full lengths
(Infections, Chinese Millionaires, Rip Offs). The best one-two lead-punch in
recent memory. Hands-down primo album of 2000. (TK)

THE REDS S/T-LP/CD
I never had
any idea that this lp would be so damn great. But alas it is! The Reds were
pretty impressive with their previous work on Lil Deputy and that single that
Rip Off put out earlier in the year but this LP tops both
those releases and elevates the Reds to a much higher status with me. I
consider this lp right up there with the Spastics(7" and lp), The
Registrators (both lps), The Wongs and The Metros lp's. In fact if the
Registrators had done an lp in between 16 wires and Terminal Boredom, much
of the record would have sounded like this Reds gem. "What you
got" (just after a Urinals cover of Ack, Ack, Ack) is the song that enabled
me to grant the Reds placement in my Neoteric Punk/Wave movement and despite
what Rolling Stone may think, That's a compliment! Get this lp now!
