"Like 'Camper von Beethoven' on a surfboard.More pop than the Gun Club, less respect for tradition than Green on Red.With a passion for euphoric melodies, from surf, psychedelia and a bit of country, the Romans(Los Angeles) patched together an exciting musical B movie." (Thomas Mauch, 1998)

"In 1984, when this album was recorded, this form of crossover-humour was not yet common place let alone commercial. This is the story of a band that was payed little attention because they dared to be what was, at the time, not fashionable." (Martin Büsser, ZAP no. 69/1993)
