While every critic out there is trying to put labels on Whiskey Myers, this reviewer will stick with ‘Rock’n’Roll band’. Further descriptors, if called for, might seek something more elaborate, perhaps finding some address within the Deep South, sticking the band in the garage at said address to give them a ‘Southern Garage Rock’ tag. That would work for Whomp Whack Thunder, the latest release from Whiskey Myers, as it fits their ramshackle brand of loosey goosey and Southern Fried Rock’n’Roll. 

 “Time Bomb”, “I Got to Move”, and “Midnight Woman” are big cool cuts, tunes that are delivered with 1970’s FM rock swagger. These are cuts that show a Rock band on full display, the kind of group that would rip the roof off a sweaty club, all while striving for something bigger. Whiskey Myers also be tender. “Rowdy Days” and “Born to Do” are two cuts ready for slow dance, with the latter laying on a big, dramatic Rock’n’Roll ending. Mellow is great, but Whiskey Myers is born to rock. Which they do on the riff heavy “Break These Chains”, a cut where guitar chops carve a path as they toss out mighty riffs. They also serve up big drama. “Rock and Roll” follows the same path as “Born to Do” as they dabble in a slow number while layering on walls of sound. It is a cut fitting as a descriptor in title and lyric, as the cut ends with the repetition of the line ‘I’m Rock’n’Roll, and indeed, they are. (by Bryant Liggett)
