The thing I look forward to most these days, is discovering in which direction Pete is taking his music this time! I'm a fan of the West Coast Jump blues on this new album and I like the Pete Cornelius approach. Good songs, well constructed and arranged with some very nice touches. The addition of piano and sax works beautifully. A quality release by a young bluesman who continues to shine.

The new Pete Cornelius CD is a bloody ripper. I'm really enjoying it.
- Mark Doherty - 4ZZZfm Brisbane

...its a great album, full of hooks, great playing and "songs".... .. a variety of styles from the Chuck Berry channelled "Dirty Little Mama" to flashes of 1940s big band swing in tracks like "Coal Miner" ...... Economical playing by Cornelius throughout exploiting a fantastic guitar sound that also runs the gamut from raunchy rock, cool swing to surf guitar in Playboy Blues.....Its an album that doesn't fade into the background as each track jerks your attention back as it offers up something new....the band and backing musos COOK!!!! In my humble opinion the best work I've heard from Cornelius yet.

This is a great album, Pete has really come of age. OZ blues it is, but with the experience he's had overseas he's put his stamp on the 'global' meaning of blues, and that's a good thing. I love it!

I really love this CD. I like all Pete's CDs, and my fave was Creatures Of the Night, mainly because it was so retro, but this newie seems even more so!. I've got it on the shuffle with some other great new releases and have to keep pinching myself when I go to check who's responsible for the awesome track I just heard, only to discover it's one of Pete's. I'll be featuring it in a forthcoming program. - Gil Onyett 2RDJ Sydney.

I think Suburban Hell is without doubt Pete's best CD yet. His leaning towards the old school classic rhythm & blues sound is fantastic and still sounds new and fresh. - Henry Prokop - 101fm Logan City, Queensland

An iconic blues album from the future of Australian Blues music. Yes I like it, Pete's best yet.
