"Bad Mother Trucker" provides longtime fans and the soon to be converted with socially conscious, fast, hard punk. Ten Foot Pole's sound is more straight and to the point than their Orange County scene-mates. Aggressive, though not too serious, the band's sound sits comfortably in the tradition of American punk rock, emphasizing the dynamics and speed of the talented musicians that make up this longstanding punk rock tradition.
