“The members of The Hunky Newcomers are unrepentant Lansing dirtbags and it shows all over their first disc, Hard Dude Stuff. These dudes are just honest about their complete lack of aspirations and that’s mighty refreshing in this day and age. The music itself is a glorious mishmash of Replacements-isms, Chuck Berry-style lead guitar and Ramones rip-offs. So in a word: Perfection. They’re sloppy, wild, out of control and most likely did not record in any state approaching sobriety.
