They Kicked Me Out of the Band

New Radio

his is not usually the type of music I listen to..in fact I don't think I ever heard of these guys before being assigned to review this record. I had heard of Commando Cody, the iconic movie serial character and that's where this act borrowed the name from( George Lucas did the same thing with a minor Star Wars character , too...but I'll check my nerdness here!) . What we have here is some solid musicians putting together some very catchy and thoroughly entertaining songs. 'They Kicked me out of the band" is a great number and you can tell these guys are having a lot of fun. I'm curious to listen to more of their material now. I rate it four out of five stars! Give it a listen.
