"...One of the greatest 60s garage bands to ever don madras pants, crank up their amplifiers, and cop bad attitudes...during their reign as Louisiana's answer to The Rolling Stones and the Kinks, their 1966 debut, Blue Girl, backed by Too Bad, stands as oner of the most savage examples post-Kingsmen, pre-Stooges punk rock ever committed to wax."

"...When The Bad Roads blasted out of Lake Charles, Louisiana in 1965 with their motherfucker of a debut, the fuzz-drenched double-sided "Blue Girl" b/w "Too Bad" they made garage punk history. When they headlined the recent Ponderosa Stomp, they demonstrated that the intervening 40 years have had little effect on their musical savagery. One fan characterized drummer Danny Kimball's cave-man style beats as "the best I've ever seen." And that's to say nothing of the wailing dual guitar attack and right in the middle of it all, charismatic singer Buz Clark beating on a tambourine with a drum stick. If you think you know garage - whether it's The White Stripes, The Dirt Bombs or The Boss Martians - come get a load of one of the bands that they all learned it from."
