Nothing from this world. Forget counting songs until you've been there long enough to leave without being rude. Have another cigarette and get one puff closer to your very own grave. Yes, keep drinking, because you won't be leaving anytime soon. Listening to Cletus Romp makes me forget chocolate icing and go straight for the Bloody Mary (even though Cletus Romp is definitely more of a beer-from-a-can kind of band). Take it from me, pal, it's worth staying up past your bedtime just to hear Cletus Romp make sounds.
Cletus Romp has been whistling past the graveyard since late '04. Originally, these miscreants played music as an excuse to drink beer during the week and not look like lushes. During one of these binges the decision was made to venture out. Despite over-zealous law enforcement and numerous restraining orders, Cletus can still be found committing their own brand of hillbilly rock. CLICK HERE TO GET A PRE-MADE MYSPACE LAYOUT
