    All told, Bad News Boys is as solid a record as the King Khan and BBQ Show have ever put out, and a must-have for fans of both the band and the genre.

    At its core, Bad News Boys is a joyous celebration of all things rock'n'roll by two guys who seem to have it running in their blood.

    The sentimental doo wop vocals filtered through a slightly muddy garage rock lens butt up against the cartoonishly crass punk rock rants and the mild tripouts for yet another album of pure fun and explosive rock & roll antics, with a delivery that by now belongs solely to these wild-eyed champions of inspiration and profanity.

    Bad News Boys works more as a collection of singles than a continuous listening experience. You’re constantly switching gears as you move through it.

    While the composition of Bad News Boys adheres to a tried ‘n’ true formula, the songs here consistently yield charming little details.

    Bad News Boys fits into a long string of solid garage samplers from these two maniacs.
