“...In Latin, Sub-Mensas means "under the table" The Submensas definitely live in that dark place where crumbs and dogs lurk. The Submensas possess what many harder, faster bands lack, a grudging sense of humanity amidst the filthy chunks of noise. Because of this, they have more in common with underground bands of the 1960s. Nothing here is particularly polished, but Rock 'n' Roll was hardly ever truer than this.....” - ???
