If the Atomic Bitchwax are guitar-focused rock, Black Nasa are about easygoing rhythms and grooves. There�s nothing manic or out-of-control about Black Nasa, but they don�t need to be that way. What�s needed most, and what Deuce has in spades, is a good hook. "Thanks Anyways" features Shovelhead�s Jim LaPointe on second guitar, and his solos offer a welcome contrast to the slide playing of Duane Hutter. If you�re looking for top-down, driving down the highway music, look no further than Deuce. Like Brant Bjork�s work, Black Nasa manage to capture the essence of good times. Good is good, rock is rock and this album is damn good rock.

It is indeed killer. That twangy slide guitar sound from the first one has become more polished, spacey, and psychedelic.

Black Nasa brings the ROCK. No whiny introspection, no watered-down, formulaic bullshit, this is rock for anyone who�s pumped a fist to AC/DC or screamed along to a fat BTO chorus. Infectious, guitar-driven rock is a staple of American culture, from Grand Funk Railroad to Monster Magnet to Mountain to Fu Manchu -- and there�s no substitute for the real thing.
