Oakland, California's enfant-terribles The Time Flys are back with another blast of rock'n'roll rebellion. Performing at the pinnacle of their powers, these guys (and gal) pick up right where their debut, Fly, left off. Together, Sir Eric "The Masher" Von Ravenson, Andy Freeze (aka Andy Jordan of The Cuts), Erin Error and Peter P. Juvenile seamlessly fuse mid '70s glam, late '70s proto-punk, and even later '70s Killed By Death-style punk to create music that, in these stale times, sounds remarkably fresh. The combination of guitar, bass, drums and attitude hasn't sounded this great since the heyday of Sire Records. Time Flys don't simply rummage the back catalogs of the Velvets or the Voidoids; they dig deep, touching on groups like DMZ, The Real Kids, The Huns and AK-4. Unlike the kid who threw his watch out the window, the Time Flys don't dumb it down like so many balls-out punk retards -- the riffs on Rebels Of Babylon may be tough, but they're also fairly complex. In fact, The Time Flys might be the only group playing original recipe punk at this level in 2007. Doubting thomases who scoff at moderne punk groups might be surprised to discover how much they dig this.

The Time Flys return with another 7" single! Two new songs "Reality (Is A Rock Band)" and "Shark Song". Side B is a cover of The Jewels "Opportunity". Recorded in Oakland at Studio Bronzo in the fall/winter of 2005, this is a taste of the new full length album due out by the end of the year. The Village Voice described the Time Flys as : "Past Rock n' Roll heroes sped and weirded up and seen through an ancient-to-the-future drug haze"

Straight outta Oakland, California: Sir Eric “The Masher” Von Ravenson, Andy Freeze (aka Andy of The Cuts), Erin Error and Peter P. Juvenile summon the eternally nasty 16-year-old through the time-tested formula of guitar, drums, bass and sneering face. Dig the debut album, Fly, by The Time Flys. This is a rock ‘n’ roll album out of time. This baby sounds like an authentic lost nugget from the pre-punk midwest landscape that would’ve fit nicely along side Unnatural Axe, The Penetrators, Suicide Commandos and The Gizmos. Featuring razor-bite titles like “In My Skool (Cool’s the Rule),” “Dirt (My Best Friend),” and “The Teen-Age is the Stone-Age,” this is rock ‘n’roll realism at its realest. Punk’s final resurrection starts here; you better dig quick, Jack! Or get left on the stack!

***Early punk rawk-inspired greatness from Oakland featuring Andy from the Cuts on guitar. Listen in awe as new glam god (for definition of glam, see NY Dolls, Heartbreakers, etc) Eric Johnson preaches the positive with exploding hair and a brazen larynx on both sides of this raw, aggressive platter.
