"TASTE TESTORS are the band you wanted to start but you didn’t. And THEY DID. YOU wanted to take The Ramones rule book and run with it. YOU wanted to start a band with your buddies. YOU wanted to write killer songs and play them the way the book says. YOU weren’t gonna play any guitar solos. YOU wanted to count in the songs ala Dee Dee. But YOU didn’t, and THEY DID. That’s why THEY are TASTE TESTORS and you aren’t." - Kurt Bloch / Fastbacks Just one month after TASTE TESTORS formed they played their first show, and a month after that they recorded and mastered their first album, and a month after that they cut a deal with Moodkiller Records (Hutchie, Trash Sound Conglomerate, The Snubs).
Yes, their debut album has come together fast, and the songs are what songwriter and guitarist Nils Larson (Rabid Dogs, The Greatest Hits) calls “dumb genius.” He means lyrically and musically. It sounds easy but for some reason no one else can really do it, except the combination of Leif Larson (Piniellas, Appaloosa) on bass, Steve E (The Briefs, Clean Lines) on vocals, and Vic Sanchez (Midnight Thunder Express, Raz Rez) on drums.
