Editorial Reviews

"jump-on-the-bed sing-alongs and air-guitar-inspiring fist pumpers that say ACS will be jukebox heroes by album No. 4"
Product Description
A review from The Stranger says it all...
"Power Pop trio Alien Crime Syndicate make no apologies for their over-the-top party-rock anthems, which is why they're so damn endearing. Frontman and guitarist Joe Reineke, bassist Jeff Rouse, and drummer Nabil Ayers share a sincere nostalgia for late-'70s arena rock, which fuels the celebratory exuberance at their shows. And Ten Songs In The Key Of Betrayal captures this visceral, fist-pumping joy almost as well as their 2002 album, XL From Coast To Coast. If you're part of the generation who missed out on seeing Cheap Trick or KISS live, experiencing the gargantuan guitar riffs and sing-along choruses of 'Forever Is Rock N' Roll' provides an ass-kicking time warp back to an era when people didn't worry about indie cred and simply 'rawked on, man.' But if hearing Reineke shout out, 'We got chicks with juicy lips!' during 'American Way' makes you cringe, you'll have to check your cynical hipster posturing at the door."
