This was the first international release from AWA on Damnably Records and is a compilation culled from the bands previous albums and EP's.

Recorded direct to tape at Echolab in Texas by Matthew Barnhart and mastered by JJ Golden . Howard Draper
from Denton, Texas band 'Tre Orsi' helps out with lap steel & organ.

American Werewolf Academy like their name suggests, are a strange band. Their music reflects an unhealthy obsession with B‐movies, monsters and hooks into the collective conscious ‐ referencing as they do common movie plot lines. ‘The Hop’ & ‘The Kid...’ play out as end of summer themes to a Huckleberry Finn‐style adventure laden teen flick. ‘Rock Show Tonight’ is a loving take on playing and putting on gigs; ''I've got the posters, you got the records...it's our birthright, we fought for it, our names are on the wall, you load up the station wagon, I'll bring the alcohol are you going to the rock show tonight?” From the tender, lo‐fi moments of ‘Goodnight, My Pumpkin Pie’, to the relentless guitar hooks in 'Summer
Ship' and ‘Goodnight for Anything', this is catchy as hell, wholesome cinematic rock, replete with scratchy vocals, dirty guitars and a classic thumping pop‐rock rhythm
section. It's a sound pulling in everything from The Kinks, The Small Faces, Cheap Trick, Roky Erickson, The Buzzcocks to Guided By Voices and Superchunk.

So let American Werewolf Academy transport you into the small town America of Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show and George Lucas's American Graffiti; a coming‐of‐age and last dance time, this is a celebration of carefree days with your buddies‐ hellraising, cruising the strip in your parents Chevy and Wolfman Jack blaring from the stereo. These guitar slingers rock because they love music and genuinely have fun making it. AWA are not fame seeking or egoists with an agenda. Sincerity shines through this small town trio, so much so they might just be the unlikely stars of tomorrow. Are you going to the Rock Show tonight?
