Ira Robbins, Trouser Press, June 1978
FOR ANYONE COUNTING, this is the third Trick LP to be released in a smidge under fourteen months. In that time, the band has played virtually every state of the Union, a handful of European countries including England, and Japan, where they're fast becoming as famous as Kiss.
