Where you can buy the cd!
Category: Music

The new CD is called "Stash" and it is available for sale through CDBaby.com here. 

This is the official release and not the CDR version.  It's been remastered and includes a bonus track from my previous CD single, "Torch Song" (also available here).  Our friends at Easter Records are helping with the release.

Early reviews:

The Onion --Rob McCuen has been active in the Milwaukee punk scene since its inception, drumming for Plasticland and Liquid Pink as well as singing (both in front of and behind the kit) for his own combos. In spite of his extensive discography, McCuen's new e.p. "Stash" - recorded with his current band, The White-Hot Tizzies - may be the best thing he's ever done. Featuring local rocker Beezer Hill (Nerve Twins, Gladrags) and ex-Shivvers pop-mistress Jill Kossoris, songs like "Are You a Man or a Mouse?" and "I'm Lower Than I've Ever Been" showcase McCuen's sardonic wit and spot-on pop sensibilities.

The Shepherd Express, Milwaukee --White Hot Tizzies Stash (Easter) While White Hot Tizzies is the latest band fronted by Milwaukee drummer Rob McCuen, the songs and collaborators found on the six-song EP Stash have roots going back to such previous groups as the Ruins and Love Bully. If his revolving door lineups raised eyebrows, McCuen's choice in musicians is bona fide. It would seem the parameters on this disc are aiming between Nuggets-era garage hits and the grandeur of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. "Life Imitates Art," co-written with bassist Steve Shrank, builds from a pop hook. "Are You a Man or a Mouse," co-written with bassist Ron Turner shoots for the full-on treatment, adding Jill Kossoris' vocals and keyboards to the mix. —Blaine Schultz  

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel -- The two of them make up in energy and experience what they lack in numbers, cranking out pop-rock that underlines the rock and power-pop that accentuates the power.  -  Jon Gilbertson
