| Here's what the
press has said about 'Hit The Jet Stream With The
Penetrators':
"Recorded in 'Stratophonic
(tm)' stereo at Bakos Amp Works, Hit The Jet Stream
With The Penetrators somehow manages to squeeze a
complete international adventure onto two sides of a 7" vinyl
EP." -Gregory Nicoll, Creative Loafing
"Features four blistering
instrumentals by one of this country's premier surf bands. These
Alabama/Georgia boys know exactly how to make a great record and 'Hit
The Jet Stream With The Penetrators' delivers the
goods big time. Their 'Triple Dog Dare'
is a sure bet for a future surf standard." -John Blair, Discoveries
Magazine
"This is a mighty fine EP from
the founding fathers off the Southern Surf Syndicate and the main
purveyors of speedy doublepick in the mighty South. It demands an answer
to the question, when the Hell are they gonna do another album? The tracks
are interspersed with thematic chatter, beginning with the pilot's mission
briefing, and including the survival kit contents check, the approach to
Moscow, departing pilot's preflight greeting, sightseeing tips, and the
return to Tuscaloosa." -Phil Dirt, Reverb
Central
"Four wet, wetter and
thoroughly drenched spy/surf tunes that'll have you moving your feet as
you go for your gun. Great stuff, this." -D.J. Johnson, Cosmik
Debris
"This 4-cut EP features
material in the Dick Dale tradition of rapid-fire single-string guitar
bombastics, high-energy drumming and it's all dynamite. If you love surf
music of the instrumental kind, I'm sure you'll enjoy this 4-cut EP and
once again it's on pure vinyl! A first-rate release for Continental
Records. Even the graphics are top-notch (courtesy of Rip Thrillby, who
doubles as lead guitarist for the band). As Casey Kasem used to say,
"I like it, it's a hit!"" -Chris Cole, Cool
& Strange Music Magazine
"A concept record along the
lines of vintage Hot Rod and Skateboard themed records. The band takes us
on a well executed journey complete with captain (or is that pilot?)
announcements between tracks. You get four numbers, cool cover photos of
the band boarding their jet and a bit of a laugh while listening to some
great surf music." -Tiki News Magazine
"A four-song seven-incher that
should touch all the necesary controls to make yours a pleasant flight in
the reverb-laden cloud cover. These guys provide some seriously fantastic
surf swingin' on this dish". -Blair Buscareno, Teen
