notes
These industry squares say you've got to sum up your band's
sound in one solid, succinct sentence. "It's like falling
in love!". "It's like consuming drugs off the body of a
Vegas cocktail waitress!". "Hot rockin'!". The band said
no to those one-liners, but YES to recording almost all
live, leaving inspired mistakes in, using profanity if
necessary, and going for excitement and feel over accuracy
or precision. I'm not going to go on and on about how
f*;';ng great this band and this album is, because I'm
trying to retain some class in my old age. But these guys
and these songs are TOPS in my world, and now they get to
be TOPS in yours too. Be kind to them, or smack 'em
around a little bit, that's what they're here for...

A great series of songs...i only wish there were more of them!
author: Randall Rotter (not affiliated with the other Randall Rotter)A strong, fast-paced and riveting series of recordings, strung together seemingly with little effort, and a total pleasure to the senses! I love these guys..i want to party with them (what are we drinking?)! I can't wait for the next CD. These boys should be very big very soon and for long time...!
AWESOME BABY!
author: Jessica PintoThis album is totally rockin you should definetly buy it!!! Go to their show when you get a chance, if you're any kind of real music fan you'll dig it!!!
Fucking Speechless after hearing this....
author: QuinnWhat a breath of sweet, tonic imbued air this CD is. Makes we wanna scream, 'Hurray for the kiddies who persist'. Me, I'll be at the bar, crying and telling you the same boring stories while Johhny Zoom kicks everyone's ass. Sell your freakin' Hives CD and get hip to this NOW!
Wow, ladies look out!! This is a hot one!
author: She Shirts Company (women biker t-shirtsHard not to write about the artist, but this is a fresh sound that needs to be heard. Brings back some of the old.(Chachi,Joannie, Mrs. C) How neat is that! Thanx for the clean sound that nobody else has. Am looking forward for more of the same...
Pwetty gwate.
author: Sean MaguireNo seriously. Really. Serious. I'm serious. Really. Um, yeah. This CD forking rocks. Everyone else sucks compared to them. Especially the Hives. They know all about.. arpeggios, and trembolos, and virtuosos.. Yeah, they know it all. But I gotta take a shower. And my eyes kinda burn. But don't listen to too much of 'em, 'cuz j00 know what they say.. "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, and too much of an awesome thing is.. um, really, really, dumb. And bad."
SPIN THIS
author: Curtis Ross TAMPA TRIBUNEJOHNNY ZOOM CHEERLEAD SQUAD: HONEY BABY SWEETIE This is the sort of great, unheralded, out-of-nowhere local release that re-energizes a rock 'n' roll fan's faith. If that sounds like hyperbole, it's not. With Rolling Stone proclaiming ``Rock Is Back!'' (as if it would know), the Johnny Zoom Cheerlead Squad, along with fellow Tampa band The Washdown, should be hailed as rock 'n' roll gods. ``Honey Baby Sweetie'' is raw, fast and smart, a dozen songs in 35 minutes. Influences are plentiful but so well-absorbed and varied as to render the sound original. Guitarist Zoom's lyrics concern sex, isolation, um, sex - hell, who cares what he's singing about when he sings this well? The production force feeds garage rock through Sun Studios' echo chamber for a sound as raunchy as the Hives but with a weirdly engrossing depth. This is as deeply satisfying a disc as has been heard all year.
Grow your muttonchops and save your beer money
author: May Wiseman-Baydomain.comThe personality in this music is pervasive, making one wonder how bodiless bands like the Strokes pass the test while true rock lies inside someone’s basement carrying independent labels.
Poppy But With Attitude
author: IMPACT PRESSHey! I like this! This is poppy but with attitude... This is cool, stripped down pop rock played by guys that have an axe to grind.
fucking great

Go Johnny Go!
author: Gina Vivinetto - St. Petersburg Times Pop Music CriticTHE JOHNNY ZOOM CHEERLEAD SQUAD, HONEY BABY SWEETIE (JOHNNYZOOMCHEERLEADSQUAD.COM) -- Tampa's Johnny Zoom Cheerlead Squad takes its inspiration from Britpop without sounding dated or like genre fetishists. Johnny Zoom's swirling guitars, Stan Banana's curvaceous bass lines and those oh-so-wry lyrics about dames who've done Zoom wrong may remind some of the Jesus and Mary Chain, New Order or the best of the Manchester bands of the early 1990s. The Squad plays tight, quick tunes with no shortage of cleverness. Hear the sonic mayhem of Joanie Loves Chachi, with its shout-outs to "Mrs. C." Another Doomsday is deliciously morbid. Want something sexy? The title track rivals Love and Rockets' So Alive in hypnotic eroticism, with Zoom coaxing, "You're so cute in your business suit/I wish you'd put on the leather boots." Not all of Honey Baby Sweetie is Brit-influenced. Opener Getaway Sticks, on which drummer Mark Tozian bashes with glee, is an indication of Zoom's past: a player in a rockabilly band. That tune is all muddy American rave-rock. It's a celebration, feisty and fun.
