BIG BOYSA quartet that puts Texas hardcore on the map, fuses a bit of funk with their punk.
Coming out of the then-overlooked Austin, TX, punk scene of the early '80s, the Big Boys
combined two irresistible rock styles into one feverish mix: raging, speedy guitars and fat,
funky backbeats. And although they went on to make a few so-so recordings, never really
living up to their early promise, it's difficult not to be supportive of what the Big Boys tried
to do in the start of the hardcore era, wherein the sexiness of a funky rhythm section
disappeared amongst the ultra-fast tempos and sexless pummeling
"FUN, FUN, FUN..."
[Recorded at Third Coast Studios March 14+17 1982]

Fun... provides six songs of the Big Boys at their best, taking their then-groundbreaking funk
and punk combinations to even stronger heights. New drummer Fred Schultz slots into
the band just fine, while producer Spot brings out all of the members' individual strengths to a tee,
not to mention contributing "Jello" and "Apolitical." The band comes up with a thicker sound all
around this time, everything upfront and all the more cutting, with Gates' bass really standing
out and Kerr's guitar equally snarling. Turner's vocals still tread that line between creeping
tension and free-for-all yells, putting the two together perfectly for the opening "Nervous,"
a two-minute rip with music that's just as appropriate. Able to zap out hyperspeed hardcore
with the best of them, as always, the Boys save their most distinct statement for an utterly
fitting cover version of Kool and the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging." Fired up with all the
considerable power the Boys brought to the rest of their music, the song features
an accompanying three-man guest horn section, providing extra swing while Turner
changes some lyrics to reflect his own inspiration from the Gang. The end vocal chants
and shouts from everyone on hand capture the uplifting spirit of that band just
as much as it does the positive energy of the Boys -- a perfect synthesis all around.
The horn section returns on a great funk original, "We Got Soul," which just about says it all....(AllMusic)
