The Rickshaw sound is high-energy rock �n� roll such as the Hellacopters pound out. There is definitely a strong punk influence in their sound as well...Track 7 �Pockets Full of Sunshine� takes a slightly different turn away from the sound of high-energy guitars. This track incorporates the more prominent sounds of keys into the equation, yet it still maintains the simple energetic component that makes Rickshaw what they are! For those of you into Highbeam band Daredevil, the Hellacopters of course and even Mondo Generator � check this one out!

Hateball also have that raw simplicity which is the essential ingredient for great rock �n� roll! This trio shies away from the flat-out approach of Rickshaw and take on a more stoned groove sound. However they still have their influences rooted in the same punk ethic of their counterparts Rickshaw...For a band that I don�t really know much about at this stage I look forward to hearing more from these guys in the future.
