The preacher can't save your soul, Your sisters can't control, Your mother says you're gone, What you need, is a healthy home C'mon baby, don't you know? I'll give you what you need The clubs all know your name, You're savings are insane You're flight has almost flown You're business is your own C'mon baby, don't you know? I'll give you what you need

Review from Beat Magazine Melbourne

"Johnny Rock and The Limits have forged a reputation for crazy themed gigs and an out-and-out rocking live show, and they've captured that essence nicely in this four-track EP. It's a great '60s and '70s garage-rock flavour with brushes of electro-synth, which give the songs a nice lick. Generally speaking, the lyrics are good and simple. Plenty of 'oh babys', and the smell of summertime beers. They were featured in a Cornetto ad last summer, and you could pick up the toned and tanned bodies in it, and throw them into a Johhny Rock and The Limits show and not miss a trick.

Give What You Need is an anthemic and liberating first track. It has you shaking your head from side to side with a tight lip pout from the get go, and wishing my mo was as dirty as Johnny's. Plenty of reverb on the vocal almost gives it a surround sound vibe. Shoeshine is the most garage of the lot with a great sing-along chorus; "I think I need your shoeshine like I think I need a hole in my head." I think it's about the morning after a one-nighter, but I'm not a hundred percent. She's Alright is delightful diversion; a heartache tale about not having the balls to approach a young lady, and I think we've all been there once (or 15) times. It's a great contrast to the other three tracks without being cheesy; the delicate guitar balances well the sweet melody and the sour regret of the lyrics. They polish it off with See the Light, which is a pumping and desperate lunge to the finish line; a great stretch of Johnny Rock's vocals, plenty of synth and guitar soloing. A really enjoyable listen.
