East and West in perfect punk unity.

The Turbo A.C.'s - Avenue X
Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 12/9/05 @ 12:27 PM - altpress.com

[4/5] A decade into their career, the Turbo A.C.'s have been called lots of things by incorporating Bay Area stylings into NYC punk rock. Avenue X is by far their best recording to date, smacking the listener around in the well-worn dark alleys still crusty with the puke and blood of street punk's heroes and villains. Shades of Dead Kennedys' tremolo shiver throughout, while a song like "C-Ya" burns fast down a road cleared by the Rolling Stones when they still mattered. "Fistful Of Fury" is an instant-classic anthem with longing lyrics sung in four different languages over rickety drums. Extra props go for the cover of Suicidal Tendencies' "I Want More."
