February Birthdays 
"Have a Drink With The Spoils is the latest from the Texas-based surf rock group. The eight tunes, all instrumentals except for a spoken-word intro to “A Test of Character,” stick pretty close to the surf-instro formula with a punkish feel. And that’s not a bad thing. Only two of the tunes venture over the three-minute mark as the band is obviously influenced by the good and short feel of punk. “Austerity Bomb” is the best example of that—a rocking minute and 44 seconds of fuzzed-up surf punk. As typical of the surf genre, there are covers: “Shockwave” and “The Ivory Coast” are both rousing versions that fit in well with the originals. The strongest (and best named) tune is the last cut: “The Ballad of Let’s Just Be Friends.” Of course, it’s anything but a ballad, a blast of thrashing drums and guitars..—MIKE L. DOWNEY"
