Cruising With Elvis in Bigfoot's UFO is the third album by hardcore punk band Adrenalin O.D. ^[4] It was released in 1988 through Buy Our Records. ^[5] Although the band still retained the hardcore sound and sense of humor featured on the previous two records, the record contains songs exploring a more melodic style and is less focused on speed.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "A.O.D. are to punk what the Coasters were to late-'50s R&B; if you can't laugh at this and play it for all your drunken cronies, you must be more of an old stoneface than Mt. Rushmore." ^[2] Trouser Press wrote: "Well-played and almost tuneful, the post-hardcore Cruisin’ With Elvis contains [songs] that thunder along with concise energy and the group’s typical whimsy." ^[5]
