"A complete package; raw, high energy rock & roll meets dangerous punk rock with precision with so much power and spectacle on stage it's like being hit by a rock and roll lightning bolt!"
- Pete; Pete's Rock News & Views
"While the band may be synonymous with the punk scene, their sound is more complex than that, running the gamut from punk to glam to prog rock to, in their words, “weird.”
- Marc Michael; The Pulse

“UNSATISFIED, THE:
Songs the Belt Taught Us: CD
The latest release from these veteran punk’n’rollers throws down impressive guitar work with thick, meaty chords and classic rock howls. Switching between sing-along punk and the darker corners of rock, these Southern boys bring together elements of Dead Boys and Alice Cooper. While embodying the epitome of rock’n’roll, song topics range from sex, women, and more women. What did you expect?! Sometimes sounding like two completely different bands, The Unsatisfied can satisfy the listener who craves a little southern gothic with their pogo.

“...it’s skinny, bleeding, kinda raw, sorta punk, a little bit country, a little bit rock n’ roll, and a whole lot poor. ...there’s plenty of that here, which is often the case when your heroes are Iggy and Lux and you sound like a bastardized mix of The Supersuckers and The Stooges.”
