Reviews: One thing that bugs me about a lot of today's neo-'60s bands is that they're so concerned about projecting the "correct" image and musical format that they actually do a disservice to the creative spirit of the mid-'60s, and the FUZZTONES sort of epitomize that tendency. I know it's unfair to single them out, because they do produce appealingly raunchy blasts with belligerent singing, fuzz guitars, and cheesy organ swells, but they are among the most calculated of the bunch. Still, this batch of cover songs rocks out, so who cares? -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #21, January 1985)
