OFB REVIEWS AND COMMENTS LEFT BY FANS AND CRITICS

The item was frightful and stinking. Have never bought from anyone so obnoxious.

THE SEWER SKIFFS WERE BETTER.

MAURY HAS A TERRIBLE VOICE.
LX CHILTON, Rene Coman, Ross Johnson

The item was daunting and disagreeable! NO CRANK ENCLOSED! Ever so angry. WHERE'S THE TWEAK? Would not buy from again. HOW'S JASON?
PANSY "THE GROUPIE"

Notably terrible quality. Have never bought from anyone so repellent. Disgusted.
JASON, JEFF, PERRY, WARNER, JACK, ANDY, AND THE GANG!

Quality of item was detestable! An immensely atrocious seller. Very, very angry.
KAY CLARY AND LORI GEORGE, Praxis Records
Quality of item was intimidating. Remarkably angry. A notably nauseating seller.
SURFIN' MATT Wilson (10 drummers), co-writer "Drownin in another pool of love"

Exceptionally evil quality! Have never bought from anyone so ungodly. Disgusted.
PETER HYRKA (fiddle and mandolin on album)

Item was of the most sickening quality! Have never bought from anyone so grisly. racial epithets are no one's favorite.

Our Favorite Friends and Memories

Our Favorite Band Made The Perfect American DIY 7"

Here is another one I bought blind. I'm in a thrift store for battered women, digging through the records and checking out the chicks (no no no no no give me a god damn break. It was just too horrible of a joke to pass up). I find this little thing in a tattered cover. Look at the cover and see two guys sitting in a car. Look at the back, two guys are still sitting in a car, and they have kinda long hair, and there is a little state of Louisiana circled below. Label says 1981. Record is beat to shit. Awww what the ell. At the very worst it will be a bad spend of a buck. I walk to the counter, lay my dollar down and tell the girl, "There's more where that came from..." and slither out the door.
I go home and slap this puppy on the turntable. Oh my god! Distorted guitar and stand up bass, no drums and it is a raw, smoking rockabilly tune worthy of the Cramps/Hasil worship.

Second song is a slow one and damn it if this couldn't be the Gibson Brothers.

Look at the label again. 1981.

Shit, this predates the Gibs by five or so years. Flip it over and weirdness crawls out of the groove. Some kinda reverb flooded, bell soaked creepiness about the Atlanta Child Murders oozes out of the speakers!

Now I am really excited.

Really really excited.

And the EP ends with some kinda Modern Lovers-meets-the Only Ones-

meets Alex Chilton LikeFlies on Sherbert

power popper.

Baton Rouge's Our Favorite Band! made the perfect American DIY 7"!

There is not a god damn thing wrong with it!

And the only reason it is an unknown is because of the heavy Killed By Death bias among punk collectors, which is doubly dumb because one of these guys was in Toxin III!
