    An uneasy hybrid of furious, three-minute punkers and would-be anthemic ballads in the time-honoured Ramones style. [Aug 2003, p.115]

    For most of Bazooka!!!, the Star Spangles sound like a rowdy bar band just playing a set of songs they love.

    Bazooka!!! undoubtedly sounds great, if nothing too original. If you're not looking for something that's going to go into new grounds, this should do you perfectly. It'd be way too harsh to drop these guys from their record deal after this, it sounds superb, a little like the Ramones in some way.… Expand
