about

"If garage rock, punk and rockabilly had a child that spoke with a "bluesy" accent, some claim it would be Big John Bates. They have brought forth an album that's chock ful of fresh and edgy sounds not easily defined. Whatever you call it, the thumping upright bass, dark lyrics and beat-driven musical style rocks without disappointment. But one might expect something like this from a man who claims inspiration not only from AC/DC, Jimmy Hendrix and Bill Haley but also from Cab Calloway and the Cramps. Take Your Medicine is just what the doctor ordered.' Car Culture Deluxe
