Testimonials
"The Houndz fall somewhere between Steely Dan and Jackson Browne with some Frank Zappa humor thrown in ... Songs like Natural Born Renegade, The Businessman, and I Am A Warrior are camp views of boomer life, and humor cuts in at every corner with style and grace." - Michael Finnegan, Mix Magazine
"The lyrics of this cd are great. I truly enjoyed each and every song... I believe anyone of any generation can easily relate to this music. ...I'll keep listening!" - Diane Jessurun, Smallhall Concert Hall

Mid-Life Crisis of 1994 morphed into the Houndz in 1998.

Steve Wyrostek, songwriter for 30 years
