in your face and up your nose.

BullFrogMusic Reviews -9/21/2008


It's been a while since I've heard any humourous protest or social commentary songs. This sort of thing seems to have been supplanted by conspiracy theorists or just plain nutty people singing badly about all the world's shortcomings. I miss hearing songs like "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag" or "I'd Rather Be Dead (Than Wet My Bed)".

So all hail Caeser Pink and The Imperial Orgy for putting the nasty fun back into social observation. Music has been too serious for too long. This little 4-song EP makes up in punch what it lacks in length. We have songs about the Disneyfication of the world, about religion, alienated young ëuns and a cheap shot at Robert Plant.

All this is delivered with the energy and punch of punk rock. The music reminds of the best material of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. There's a message in each song, but Pink doesn't water it down with politically correct mealy mouthed euphemisms. The words are in your face and up your nose.
