“Enhanced by a crunchy, powerful production, the record showcases high sonic energy combined with tight playing and sharp lyrics. So get ready to be blown away by high-voltage riffs, vicious rhythms, and biting vocals... Delve into the roaringly anthemic “Long Term Heartbreak,” “Westside Highway,” and “Big Vicious Dog,” bang your head and stomp your feet to the groovy, Rollins Band-inspired “Unbelievable,” and be mesmerized by the stoned-out heavy psychedelia of “The Missing”. Other personal favorites are the creeping “My Marie,” which follows in the footsteps of Masters of Reality, “Breath Away,” an intense mix between MoR and Danzig, and the bluesy, AC/DC-like “Cold Woman Blues.” The electric ballad “Please Baby,” featuring some tasty crooning from Matt, finishes off a high-octane tour de force, one of the best full-on rawk ‘n’ rawl works to surface lately.”

“The band just rocks from the beginning of this CD and never relents in nailing you in the senses with killer rock and roll. They have a sound and style and stick to it on the CD. The song list is twelve songs strong and worth listening to the entire recording.”

“'Dragstrip Courage' is the breathtaking hugely enjoyable new twelve track album New York rockers Amerikan Primitive. This album has all the fundamentals I like about rock albums that strikes that chord with me for its rich diversity, fun energy and raw passion. The electric 'Cold Woman Blues' rocks, this track is very melodic with a blues guitar groove slant, excellent catchy song. 'My Marie' is another brilliant strong melodic guitar edged catchy song that has a vintage seventies feel, even a slight southern retro vibe coming through, kinda like 38 Special crossed with Starz. 'Please Baby' is a slower moodier ballad style song whilst 'Westside Highway (Seniorita Song)' comes out on tops for me. This track has some fun guitar licks and is a catchy rockin' ditty that pulls out the stops. Makes me think of Rolling Stones and Ted Nugent.”

"Unrelenting rhythm guitar and growled out vocals- Sue plays lightning leads on a Les Paul guitar, electrifying the audience with her agile and intelligent improvisations.
