my own worst enemy

"Total Action is the kind of pop record they just don't make anymore; full of fresh sounds and great hooks, with some careful thought between the lines. Leaders Sue and Steve are music nuts who do their influences proud, and they fooled me into thinking their shimmering folk-rocker "Snowflake" was a long-lost 60's nugget. Elsewhere they mix their country and their Velvets up with a lot of vital three-chord stomp. Call it garage rock if you must; but Sue's vocals leave no doubt that garage is in a pretty exotic neighborhood" -- Brett Milano (Author, Sound Of Our Town/Vinyl Junkies/Boston Rock Trivia)
"Best Boston debut in a long time - in many ways evokes the golden age of classic co-ed indie rock bands: Love Child, Yo La Tengo, Eric's Trip, etc - the boy sings a song, the girl sings the next one, and they always sing together. It's the pinnacle of rock band equality - but also codependency and this album makes love sound like one long drink of gin.partly thanks to Sue's "Jersey Queen" vocals (one of the nicer things to happen to female vocalizing in the name o' rock since Denise James). Lack of bass player gives them a skeletal Sleater/Kinney clank. This album evokes a harsh 70's reality.mainly of my parents telling me to go play in the traffic while they did the "jungle boogie" on the couch." -- Joe S. Harrington. Kapital Ink, Vol. I
