"STRONG ARM AND THE BULLIES from Southern California have a raging new street rock CD fresh in the stores for you! You Had It Coming is the distillation of many nights playing shit-kicking rock 'n' roll in all the crappy little dives up and down the California coast."
- Maximum Rock and Roll, Issue 275, April 2006
It came out good!! I still say you guys have one of the weirdest mix of influences I've ever heard: there's Oi!, HC breakdowns, a little bit of Country/Psychobilly, and this COS kinda vibe, which I think comes mostly from (the) vocals. It's a pretty unique combination, and I mean that in a good way.”
-Mark Rainey, owner, TKO Records
"Cool guitar! Big fat rhythm, and cool leads! Vocalist has big balls!
This band is classic pre-Blink 182 sugar-coated pop punk! This is real! This is good!
About bloody time!"

"This is pretty tight, fast punk rock ... Singer has a rough sounding, tough voice that is a welcome break from a lot of the Emo, college kid sounding stuff like Green Day or the Get Up Kids. I'd compare this band to a punk version of say something like Motorhead.
Good stuff!"
