...more original than most of the current crop of zydeco groups from Louisiana and half of the songs are in French to boot...better, more distinctive, and even more in keeping with the tradition than much of what is currently being released in the genre. Dirty Linen magazine You make me want to take my accordion and go sit down! Boozoo Chavis, legendary Louisiana zydeco master Bad Boys should be applauded for their experimentation and their willingness to take zydeco to some places it's never been. Nigel Tassell, Blues and Rhythm Magazine A remarkable band--the band members have not only studied and assimilated the Cajun and Creole musical cultures, but have managed to draw on their own wide folk music roots in order to present a zesty cross-fertilization of wonderful sounds. Franklin Zawacki, Cajun and zydeco festival producer Rough and raw, no pretensions, a solid
reliable and likable rowdy party pack. The Bad Boys Stomp CD was both original and exciting and I featured it in a couple of programs I did on the history of Cajun music (for Radio Canada). It fit in well with the programs on the future directions of Cajun/zydeco. Paul Comeau, Nova Scotia Thank you for all the entertainment, for
being so professional, and making my job as stage manager an
easy one. I hope we can work together again. I thought you guys
were the best zydeco band of the day. My wife Carole and I came to see you a few months ago at John A. Logan College in Carterville, IL. I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the evening. Thanks again for the music, we enjoyed it thoroughly and will be watching for you guys if you're ever back in the area. Scott Hanson, Carterville, IL
