Fast, LOUD, and ass kickin' rock from the Salton Sea's very own demented trailer trash punkabilly band. If you like the CD, you gotta see them live!

CD REVIEW by Jolie Ella Mann
Ahoy! I've said it before and I'll say it again - Throw Rag is the best band in America to see live. No other band has more energy, charisma, or better rapport with the crowd. But, just because seeing them live in action is preferable to listening to their CD's doesn't mean you shouldn't own them. Buy both "Desert Shores" and "13ft and Rising," they are both worth the price of admission.

Now, about the CD. This album rocks hard! The songs have lost the country twang but not one bit of the energy of "Tee-Tot." We finally get to hear Jacko (Action Craig Jackson!) sing lead on a studio album (on Please Don't Touch), and bring his, um, *unique* bugle skills to the closing track (Demons in a Row). Lyrics are the same wonderful drunken trailer trash insanity as the last CD with the crazed vocal stylings of Captain Sean-Doe. Franco's bass lines are top notch as well! Standout songs are Hang Up, Beware of the Dog, Mission's Message, Bag of Glue and the aforementioned Please Don't Touch and Demons in a Row. All in all a great CD that won't leave the player any time soon!
