It's often difficult to track down late 90s/early 00s music reviews thanks to so many fan run sites and blogs going offline if they were actually using Blogger. Luckily a few have survived, like this one from Hotbands.com circa 2000 reviewing the album released on Derailleur. Here's a bit of the review:
Their self-titled CD release, Bob City, is hard-drivin, hard-rockin blues/metal...kind of a collision of AC/DC and Motorhead. Dual-guitar shredding, thumping bass and driving drums lay down the groundwork for lead vocalist Justin Tesa's raw screaming vocals.
The first song on the CD "Boystown", is a rocker that should be listened to with the volume on 11! What can I say? These guys totally kick ass! I remember listening to AC/DC, Nazareth, Motorhead and the like back in high-school, and Bob City would have fit in perfectly with my collection!
Their songs all had great hooks, and kept my interest. Although it's a bit hard to understand the lyrics (and they weren't printed on the CD), I was able to pick up enough to get a kick out their attitude. It gives the listener a chance to see the world through the eyes of a 20 year old.
