Buffalo is not a cheerful town and who can blame them. First off it snows more in a month than it does the whole year where I live in southeastern Michigan (and trust me...it's snows quite a bit here.) Then there's it's most famous former residents Rick James and OJ Simpson. Yeah! There's two good role models for ya, huh? Let's also not forget that the "ladies" are also rarely seen at the Rock-n-Roll shows there. Shit! It gives anyone a reason to be pissed off and do the Trailer Park Tornados sound flat out full of rage. Mean and nasty and lashing out at anyone that get's within the rach of their clutches. This record is LOUD. Close your eyes and you can see the singer's veins bulging to the point where they might bust as he howls about heroin and Canoli girls over a huge bog of vermin infested distortion. The doctors specializing in hearing problems probably make a killing the day after these guys and fellow locals the Baseball Furies play a show together as the bartenders curses them to the lowest hell while picking up broken glass and scrubbing bloodstains off the stage. - Smashing Transistors

Man oh man, my ears ain't never been this brutally roughed-up!! TPT brazenly unleash a loud, amped out cacophony of trashy, barroom-brawlin' rock-n-roll madness that's undeniably beastly and primal. They're sonically similar to The Hot Pockets, Big Boys, The Bulemic, and The Daylight Lovers - only sloppier, grittier, and more aggressive! Ear mangling musical mayhem like this is almost always guarnteed to crack my skull wide open, flip my brain upside down, and them make me commit unspeakable acts of drunken debauchery. Waaaaaaaaaah-hooo, that's just how I like it! - Razorcake

It's on Big Neck records, so you know it's gotta be some manic lo-fi rock 'n roll. This band also gets my vote for best band name of the week. The song "Chinese White", although some may say it's a little too similar to the Ramones/Thunders classic "Chinese Rock", is still the best song about doing heroin since the Queers wrote "We'd Have a Riot Doing Heroin", and it's the best song on the 7". - WSUM

Four songs here and man, is this some screamin' stuff! This is one of the latest blasts from the prolific Buffalo garage punk scene and the excellent Big Neck label: no-fi, don't-wanna-be-a-rockstar ragin' that charges straight ahead full speed through all 4 songs. Loud fast rules, baby!! - Head In a Milk Bottle

This record is so fucked sounding that I checked to see if my needle was shot. It was, so I changed it..and the record got fucked-er!!! - Rocktober

Noisy garage punk from Buffalo, NEW YOOORK. The recording is really trashed out, or just live. The TPT’s, who can’t spell tornadoes, are a sloppy, snarled pile of guitars and back beats. Reminds me of ’86 hardcore punk without the macho attitude. Not bad… - Blankgeneration

File this under lo-fi punk/garage/rock'n'roll/ or whatever Greg Lowry calls it nowadays. Sounds sort of like the PROBLEMATICS which makes me think that the PROBLEMATICS were never that great. - Horizontal Action

Filth, Fuzzy and fucked up. Sends a fire through yer ass like bad Indian food. Unholy lyrical subject matter, and I get the feeling they're real ugly too. A real complete package. Someone's got to preserve the MENTORS honor. - Maximum Rock'n'Roll

The Trailer Park Tornados' "Hero's of the Hopeless" 7" ep is the latest gem from Big Neck Records. This is raw, fast rock 'n roll the way it should be played. The ep starts off blazing with "Canoli Girl." It's full of snarling vocals, growling guitars and feedback. I'm not sure if it's about a girl who likes Italian pastries, puts up a hard exterior buts a softie on the inside or a girl who works in a bakery but it sure does rock. Next up is straight-up rocker "Chinese White." It's subject is second in the unholy trinity of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. It starts out with a fantastic lead and a grunt leads into a cool riff. The chorus goes, "Sniff it, eat it, shoot it, boot it. I'm hooked on Chinese White." It's the best song on the record. "(She's a) Martyr" is classic punk rock. It starts off with a shriek of feedback, a rumbling bass line, then kicks into high geer. The chorus is a shout out "She's a martyr, martyr, martyr, martyr." "X" end the disk in cool fashion. It starts out as a fast and furious punk rocker, then slows down and has a cool lead then finishes with the same way it started. What is "X" about? Beats the shit out of me but I was beating my head against the wall to this one. I'm not sure now Big Neck keeps coming up with cool bands but they do. You should check out the The Trailer Park Tornados. - Cyclops

Four loud and obnoxious blasts of crude rock and roll with strangulated vocals, feedback and more attitude than a drunk soccer fan. The band tears through four songs, "Canoli Girl," "Chinese White," "(She's A) Martyr," and "X" with varying degrees of urgency and/or heavy handed plod. The band is from New York and, though punk in general tone, are not too far removed from some form of mondo destructo metal madness. Not for the SQUEAMISH. - Garage and Beat
