The Nice Outfit are the latest band from Trolley leader, Terry Hackbarth. "This Milwaukee band has delivered a short-but-sweet 4-song EP of inspired power pop. And by "short", I note that the four tracks clock in at just over nine minutes total, but nevertheless it`s quality over quantity. The sound here is a combination of The Kinks, The Figgs, and The Greenhornes. But guys, if you`re going to have a track titled "One Minute Forty-Five", it ought to be 1:45 in length, not 2:15."-AbsolutePowerPopBlog. "Think an updated version of The Buzzcocks for the next generation of powerpopaholics. This combo rocks with an energy that compares well with The Plimsouls. The chiming guitarplay of the title song will appeal to lovers of that 60`s classic sound. Lead vocal Terry Hackbarth threatens to get buried by all those riffs, which flirt with the classic punk of The Replacements. The other three tracks follow the same formula with just enough melody under the surface to keep it rockin`!" - PowerPopAholic. The 4 songs on this EP are keepers - This is chock-filled with mod-ish, choppy power pop rhythms, huggable hooks and bewitching display of commanding energy. Winningly winsome, rocking, peppy with bright, shiny guitars, Nice Outfit are, indeed, truth in advertising. Check this one out!
