Biography

Ye olde rock n roll band, started
in November 2003 out in Tulsa,
Oklahoma. Not much to say.
We drink too much and sometimes
that is a mistake. Sometimes that
is a good thing. Our old bass player
Zack (yes, a different Zack) left
town and got abducted by the Illuminati
while broken down in Weatherford,
Oklahoma... we haven't seen him since.
We worship B.O.C. and strongly
believe in the existence of a
Reptilian sub-culture.
Constantly strivin' for Honky McGee
And The Milbrae Brothers" -Tulsa

"There's a difference between forms
and formulas. Tulsa oozes the
tradition of East-Bay pop punk:
handwriiten lyric sheets, songs
about cheap alcohol, love's
trapdoors, friends dying too soon,
all slid in a great silk screened
cover (along with a CD), all
conceptually held together with
duct tape. You know, the current
hallmarks to a tried and true
DIY punk release. And you know
what? It still rules after you
kinda know what you're gonna get.
Give me songs about failure and
still willing to bite back. Give
me Shotwell, the almost
breathlessness of This Is My Fist,
the warm rug-pop charmof the
Bananas, that huddling up in a
wierd poncho of the Abi Yoyos.
Sour Digs feels like a family
affair; a nationwide family of
bands, a family you're invited
to join, just by listening along
to this record. Shit like this
makes me smile. Todd at Razorcake

MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL
One of my favorite local bands
to see (although they are hard
to catch cause they are always
on tour). I have a bunch of
garbled cassettesnand of coarse
the split with The Answer Lies
but if I'm not mistaken this is
their first LP. Viewed in person
they are often a sweaty mess of
drunken choruses and falling-
over-drums, but captured here
in glorious stereophonic vinyl,
they harken back to the heady
days of cllassic East Bay punk.
Yeah, what I'm saying is the
record sounds like Crimpshrine
(maybe with the addition of
some melodic Replacements
guitar). You get the idea.
Raw, catchy-as-flu sing-a-long
DIY punk. AM/Maximum RR

"they have that sloppy, lo-fi,
catchy as hell sound that I
like so much...it's kinda like
dirty pop songs tuned to
alcohol and b.o."

"Is that a tostada on a rampage?
How would a tostada trim its
mustache? The cover leaves us
with many unanswered questions.
The Answer Lies: Imagine that
the Swing Ding Amigos listened
to metal, sounded less Hendrix'y,
and rolled around in a fine
layer of dust and dirt, just like
Pigpen Zingy, tightly-wrapped,
riding-bikes-is-rad-punk. Not
bad at all. Tulsa: It'd be
"precious" if you just root
canalled the music right out
of context(it's sorta folky,
sorta indie, but anxious and
asking all the right questions)
and put it under the cold light
of consumerism. But soley
approaching the music like that
would be entirely missing the
point of bands like Tulsa: it's
all about heart, DIY trust, and
great songs, much like Hot New
Mexicans, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb,
and Almighty Do Me A Favor.
Yep, real good"- Todd at Razorcake
