"You're cruisin' down interstate X with your hair thrashin' through the t-top . . . all of a sudden JJ GOT LIVE RaTX hits the box like nothing you've heard! Skyscraping power chords . . .'Rainbow High!' Arcing from the walls of solid concrete blocks . . . huge hooks that would twist the biggest shark in the pond . . . you gotta get the record, touch it . . . and lick it up! HEY, Kid, We'll take you to Venice Beach. Body-builders stepping on rats and all that. Roller-bladers. SHIT! Push yourself past the break and ride the wave through the crash. Pounding and pounding. It gets all inside your head. Totally hit me heavy. Like, go big or go home. I mean, I went to high school -- for like a minute! What I learned is that it ain't for me. Since, it's been nothing but tasty waves and the kindness. People talking about it all like it's the end, like we're moving downward. Spirals and shit. But that's not my reality. Some say we do it different, and they're on target. See, we're on cruise control, lookin' straight ahead, knee-highs up on the dash board. Still smokin' indoors. A parallel paradise. Copper-toned hulks and honeys everywhere, down by the pier, chillaxin'. New Wave in California means metallic skies. A luxury everyone can afford. Yeah, JJ GOT LIVE RaTX is the white-hot luxury sound for sure. Jennifer's pipes are smokin' and she's offering no mercy at its finest. The songs got flashy virtuoso drums, full-wave synth sweeps and shred guitar that will knock you on your ass and leave you slobbering for more. And they got more. JJ GOT LIVE RaTX -- you should get some too."

Formerly known as Western Xterminator, now known as RaTX. New title, same contents as originally released in March, 2007. Message from above: "don't fool around with the pest control business!" "Lights flicker and bells chime. The far-out sound of thunder draws nearer. Jennifer Herrema and her horsemen are returned and Western Xterminator is the recollection of their long journey. The mission statement reads like this: The Western Xterminator travels long miles leading an ever-increasing horde of rats in a train behind. Lured by the high definition frequencies put out by the Xterminator, the rats have no choice but to follow. They dig it, really -- it's a gas. Steeped in smoke, belching flame, couched in a rainbow of fuzz, RTX loosen limbs once again for another trip into the wild. Evolved from the dust like myth from mystery, Western Xterminator plunges from a flute-driven prelude into what brought you here today: solid rock -- flanged and wacked to give the rock corps of RTX their jollies, of course. And if they're happy, you're happy."

"Back in March of this year, we issued RTX's second ball-busting album, under a title that we all really loved and you did too. But the man! The man came down on us, telling us that in a court of law the album with that title would be struck down and that we must cease and rethink. Thusly armed, we went to RTX and told them that a rebirth was at hand. Fortunately, they were up for the change -- and RaTX is the inevitable result! Containing the exact same contents as its former self, RaTX has the additional benefit of being released in a super-limited vinyl edition (manufactured behind the former Iron Curtain) with exclusive artwork. It's the least we can do to party in the face of the man and his stupid rules and laws. If you haven't given rock of the heaviest kind a spin this year, RaTX is the album you need to have. Unless you already have it under a different title."

"The pure rock energy found in 'Low Ass (Live) On the Beach' and 'Joint Chief Beach Freak (Live)' is the live sound of RTX -- a sound fucked with extensively for the studio versions, but presented to you hear with a whomp of granite. Powerful stuff! 'Kitty Grom' takes us back to the lab, where strange and twisted things are occurring minute-by-minute. This RTX single contains one of the hot cuts from Transmaniacon with three bonus tracks."

"Jennifer Herrema is back. It's not the Royal Trux, it's RTX. Flash to the present. Transmaniacon sounds instead like it was recorded on Mars -- or maybe Saturn. Together, Jennifer, Nadav Eisenman and Jaimo Welch track into new territory. The sounds will immediately make sense, sounds formed into the tightest breed of pure rock energy. A mass of guitars that squirm and scream around the granite rock of the rhythm section, occasionally rocketing into the sky -- pre-verb ricochets colliding with waves of synth and razor sharp vocals cutting right through anything in their path. Jennifer summons the ageless teenager eating cotton candy with the summertime blues and it all boils down hot and cold into one piece of controlled rage post-apocalyptic marching music, or titanium stadium rock, with tight pop rhythms. And the vibe is dead on weird, ripe with images. . . what comes to mind. . .biker gangs, sci-fi mythology, and personal introspection (destruction and then triumph formed from the ashes). This is the sound of RTX."
