| Low Rollers -Live @ Chance's Garage 1/18/02 "It's hard to think that these guys have lasted a year...just kidding. Recorded live from a show (complete with heckling and banter), that I was at a year ago. I was surprised at how good the recording was, because the acctual show didn't sound too good to me, due in part to me being inches away from a loudspeaker (headache!) As for the music, it's class 1-2-3-4 punk rock with a rockabilly spin that remains good and dancable. I prefer the sillier songs because the serious ones seem a little contrived. I would also like to hear a little more of Matt's voice. At least I'm not as brutal as the guys from Maximum Rock n' Roll. Statistically, 66% of the band comes to this school to learn, and the band is ranked the second best in Hazel Dell, which is obvious because Duckspeak is the best, Knuckleheads cease to exist, and the rest are far too religious and too straightedge." - James "Maddog" Deegan, Published in The Chant, December 2002, at Columbia River High School |
| "It was a long trip back to California and the only thing that kept us on the road was when someone would yell, "Chewbacca! Chewbacca! Chewbacca!". - Rich Mejia (The Eddie Haskells), October 2002 |
| "Dude, you guys are like the closest thing to The Ventures meets punk rock I have ever seen in my life." - Joey (Blue Collar Special), December 2002 |
| "It is good to finally hear something orginal. Something that isn't just redundant of another band, or another band's sound." - Eddie Wretch (The Shift), October 2002 |

| ROCK - Low Rollers, The Pist'Uns, Warriors of Genghis Khan? "It's no secret that many of rockabilly's denim demons are really aging teen-o-punks who traded their 'haws for pomps when they graduated high school and hadda job working $5.5 an hour. The Low Rollers are like a transitionary glimpse into the metamorphis, sometimes playing hopped-up nerd-punk songs about Nintendo and Star Wars, other times unspooling Carl Perkins rockabilly riffs into tunes about their taste in vintage autos. Speaking of greasers, The Pist'Uns showcase surprisingly agile voice of drummer Holly Morgan (ex-Nearly Deads), who gets greasy guitar and bass assisstance from two fellas who clearly know their way through a can of Royal Crown pomade. While the resulting rock'n'roll more tuneful than temptestuous, it still seems custom brewed for Pabst fanatics. The Warriors of Genghis Khan give ex-Speds bassist/dynamo Colin Grigson his chance to shine on the mic." - John Graham, Willamette Week music listing for Dec. 27th, 2002 & ROCK - Low Rollers & The Diskords "Scrapping together enough money to get yer DIY vinyl pressed up is hard. But imagine trying to do it when you don't have a staedy job. the imagine trying to do it when you're too young to legally get a steady job. Such is the hurdle facing middle-school punk upstarts The Diskords, who are trying to put out a split 7" with The Low Rollers (see Friday's listing).This show is a fundraiser for said single. Want to suppost youth music? Here's one place to start and help give the peppy quartet more real-world business traning than Junior Achievment." - John Graham, Willamette Week music listing for Dec. 29th, 2002 |
