JOYSTIX
300 Words On Why I Didn't Listen To Your CD
Joystix

________________________________________________________

I got this CD and instantly was turned off.  Why?  Why you ask?  Well let’s start with the slimline case.  First off, any band worth their salt knows better than to use a slimline. If you want any kind of radio play, then goddamit….USE A REGULATION CD CASE!  It’s hard enough to be a DJ without having to actually pull out the CD, check the band, check the name, and then decide whether to play it. 
Come on!!!  Rock music 101, people! 

 Point 2.  If you’re gonna use a slimline, then at least put a sticker on your CD.  This one had nothing more than a Maxell color disc.  I mean, come on folks, at least write your bands name in Sharpie or something….how much effort does that take?  A Maxell CD with nothing identifying on it means nothing to me.  It means throw it out the next trash day.  It means does this band really want to be taken seriously?

 Well then, I ask you?  Why in the world should I take this band seriously?  Because of the kind of hot leopard skin joystick held by skull embossed fingers on the badly printed cover?  Is it because they even had the balls to try?  Well, what I have to say to you Joystix is…get your shit together.  Get a reasonable package.  It’s not so hard in this day and age of technology to make a semi-professional presentation.  If  you can’t even get your CD reviewed, then why do you think you’ll get it played?? 

Alrite, alrite.  This may have been a real asshole review, but you’ve got to be kidding me.  When I actually went to listen to this damn thing, it wouldn’t even play in my CD player.  Nothing more needs to be said. ________________________________________________________

*I listened to it. The Joystix are Hungarian glamsters, ex Sonic Dollz, and if you heard those dudes, imagine more of the same, only with a sugar-coated pop-abilly beat sprinkled over the pussy-hunting Thunders riffs. The Joystix are definitely still in the demo stages, but they seem to be zeroing in on a swanky glampunk sound. Let 'em work on it for awhile. - Sleaze
