Release and reception
"Shit out of Luck" was released in 2001, through Haunted Town Records.[1] It received generally positive response from music critics. A Razorcake review states that the singer, who sounds like he's chain-smoking filterless cigarettes, sings with gruff humor about being devastated.[2]Richie Unterberger of AllMusic writes: "You are not, after all, apt to hear swing or rockabilly bands play songs titled "Shit Out of Luck" [...]. The words are full of the frustration and disillusionment common to zillions of punk records, yet the music makes it all rather genial and good-natured."[3]Ox-Fanzine calls "Shit out of luck" anthemic[4] and Punknews.org writes that this 50s outlaw tune could work as background music in a Happy Days episode as well as on the Warped Tour main stage, while the incredibly catchy “Drive All Night” starts out country-ish and quickly becomes one of the best songs on the record.[5]
