Tea Parties, Guns & Valor

'Despite all the drinking, the trash-culture affectations, and the general goofiness, it's clear that Truckasauras are more than just simple-minded party rockers. There's a surprising emotional depth to their video-game melodies, a specific nostalgia in the band's fondness for old-school gear and the vintage cheese on their visuals. The Game Boys won in a grade-school walkathon, the pro wrestling, and the vintage beeps and beats go back in time to a suburban rec room circa 1989: a Pop Rocks fueled sleepover spaz-out in full swing. This sometimes playful, sometimes longing nod to Nintendo-age adolescence gives Truckasauras's computer music a uniquely human touch. ' - Eric Grandy, The Stranger
