Garage rock played the way it should be played...Loud, fierce, uncompromised neanderthal sludge without all the usual retro-isms. Think The Sonics meets Texas punk circa `66. Yes, we`re talking SONICS, WAILERS, STANDELLS. A veritable non-stop cacophony of mind numbing over the top maniacal mayhem, without a blooze lick to be found. A sound not heard in these parts since Ronny Regan walked the hallowed halls of Sacramento`s state capitol building as guv`nor. SOUNDS OF VIOLENCE treds where no band in recent memory has dared to tred.Destroying and laying waste any and all watering holes in their path. For the next 36:34 do not touch your tone arms, TH` LOSIN STREAKS have assumed control. You won`t be able to stop `em, and you can only hope to contain `em. And beg for mercy from THE SOUNDS OF VIOLENCE!!! Coming soon to a rubber room near you. " CAN`T REALLY REMEMBER how I got the Losin` Streaks LP Sounds of Violence but it looked like something with potential, with a sound that might equal its promise to be the anti-Simon and Garfunkel record from which they got the title. The record turned out to be one of the best records I`ve come across in ages, and months later the thing still resides on or close to my turntable. Then the single came out, and it was more of the same: stompin`, no-holds-barred garagified punk, choice covers and amazing originals with one foot in the `60s and the other kicking the ass of every subsequent decade." - The Free Library.
