ALBUM REVIEWS
“Rocking The Memphis Underground tells the tale of The Klitz as it should be… Catchy and primitive post-punk, loose no-wave ramblings and perhaps best of all, unhinged and disaster-ready covers of the likes of The Cramps, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Troggs", and Alex Chilton”- Angry Mom Records
“A proper full-length collection documenting Memphis’ legendary all-female punk quartet, The Klitz. Anyone jonesing for more of the weirder edge of Memphis’ late ‘70’s / early ‘80’s downtown punk scene will definitely find a lot to love on here.” - Styrofoam Drone
