Rippers Notes:
2005 reissue of their 1970 debut LP, for the first
time on CD!
Detroit rock mainstays of the 70's, Brownsville
Station were a product of the fertile Ann Arbor hard
rock scene when they formed in 1969. Led by guitarist
and rock journalist Cub Koda, the band hit big in
1973 with the #3 hit, "Smokin' In The Boys Room". The
band also charted five other singles, including the
top-40 "Kings of the Party" but never really rose
above second-tier status. Still, they were very good
at what they did, which was mixing 50's rock 'n' roll
with a big gritty hard rock sound; they were a good
cover band and capable of convincing originals. A
noteworthy live act, their actively engaging stage
patter influenced J. Geils Band's Peter Wolf. No B.S.
was their 1970 debut, and its best moments are cover
versions of Link Wray's "Rumble" and Bo Diddley's
"Roadrunner". Koda's own "Cadillac Express" holds its
own. Also included are "Be Bop Confidential" and
"Rockin' Robin'" It's all solid, and rougher than
their big hit; fans of Detroit rock will love this.
Brownsville Station disbanded in 1979; Koda died in
2000.
