“Mr. Spencer, a charismatic vocalist and guitarist, shook and shimmied onstage like a 1950’s sock-hop singer gone bad, howling Big Bopper-inspired exclamations and entreaties into the microphone. The band, which also included Russell Simins on drums and Judah Bauer on guitar and harmonica, played revved-up jams rooted in the lewd rockabilly of the garage groups of the 1950’s.” – Neil Strauss / New York Times
