The No Tomorrow Boys

Das lang erwartete Debütalbum der No Tomorrow Boys ist eine Sensation. Wilde und ungezähmte Rock'n'Roll Bands sind heute eine vom Aussterben bedrohte Spezies in einer Welt des mit Soundeffekten durchtränkten Indi Pops und des Shoegaze Rocks. Die Jungs sehen aus wie eine wilde Motorradgang, entsprungen aus einem Film der 50er Jahre und hören sich an, wie ein uneheliches Kind von Little Richard und den Cramps mit einer gesunden Portion Rip Off Records. Die No Tomorrow Boys haben die letzten Monate unaufhörlich explosive Shows im Nord-Westen der USA mit Bands, wie Dex Romweber Duo, Downtown Struts, Davila 666 oder den Sonics gespielt.

Die Live Shows der Band sind ein Tornado des Chaos, gleichzeitig der reine ungestüme Spaß. Sie beschwören all die Gefahren und den Nervenkitzel eines jugendlichen Halbstarken, von Springmesserkämfen im Hinterhof bis zu lüsternen Nächten auf den Straßen der Liebe. Und nun haben die Jungs es geschafft ihren wilden, primitiven amerikanischen Rock'n'Roll auf ein Stück Vinyl zu bannen und gaben ihrem Debütalbum den Namen »Bad Luck Baby Put The Jinx On Me«, 14 Songs, die explodieren wie ein Hot Rod an der Startline.

Also Jungs, schnappt euch eure Lederjacken und schmiert euch das Gel in die Haare. Für die Mädels gilt: Ab in die Netzstrümpfe, knallt euch den Lidschatten um die Augen, übt den Augenaufschlag und dann alle Knöpfe in den roten Bereich.

Portland Mercury

The No Tomorrow Boys seem to be well over drinking age, but it's possible they retain fond memories of their time in juvie—or at least they want you to think so. Despite their pompadours and leather jackets, they aren't a period piece with a James Dean fixation. In fact, they sound a lot more like authentic 1950s garage rock than the bands that jacked the style two decades later and called it punk. Like deep cuts off early Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard albums, and most especially like the great Tacoma band the Sonics, the No Tomorrow Boys rock out about innocent things, like girls and cars. But they do it with such uninhibited frenzy that you finally get why early rock 'n' roll caused mothers to cry into their aprons and dads to ship the kids off to parochial school.

Faster and Louder

Coming on like an Americanized Guitar Wolf or The Cramps sans the horror theme, Portland's No Tomorrow Boys get it right! …This is the REAL DEAL, kids! Any old band can ape the style, but The No Tomorrow Boys have the fire in the soul to genuinely capture the unholy essence of early rock n' roll. It has been a while since I've come across a new band in this mold, and let me tell you it's a real jolt to hear music like this again! These tunes are wild and fun and supercharged with sex (in other words, the opposite of what typically passes for "indie" rock in the year 2011!). If classic late '50s motorcycle gang leather jacket-and-switchblade rock n' roll replete with a bawdy backbeat, howling juvenile delinquent vocals, and red-hot guitar action sounds good to you, well then you have good taste. And The No Tomorrow Boys should be right up your alley!

Stitches In My Head

The No Tomorrow Boys. Slick Rockabilly Rock n Rolla's with the hair to suit. During the last song the guitarist flicks out his switchblade and starts manically shredding with it, throwing it into the floorboards at the end. It was so badass I'm sure the vagina of every gal in the room exploded while the penis of every man proceeded to shrink back into their bodies with shame and despair of how uncool they are compared to these guys.
