Greg Baker reviewed The Savage Ones in April 1992. "And topping the list, out now from Jeterboy, a super slab (oh, okay, cassette) of American rock called The Savage Ones by Johnny Tonite. Starring local stalwarts Randy Ruffner and Pete Moss (with plenty of groovy guests), Johnny rocks true and right, no phony, manipulative, smoky-mirrors b.s. here, just simple rock songs beefed up by invention and raw sincerity transmitted by voice, guitar, bass, drums, hand claps, and incidentals. You need this album if only to hear "The Great Pretender," a majestic piece that might be the most infectious (in a good way) song released anywhere this year. The whole thing is pensive-angst munchable tasty, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Seek it out, dear rockers."[4]

Stan Still Dance Band - Midnight - 1985[edit]

"Stan Still is also known as Randy Ruffner. Ruffner is also known as a former Spanish Dog. In fact, this is the Dogs without Kennedy. The music here is from the young and the restless, the angry and the punk. It's not hard core, but with titles like It's Alright To Die, it can be unrelenting. For those about to slam dance, this cassette salutes you."[5]

The Squalor Sound/Various Artists - Obscurities (cassette)- 1985[edit]

"This is another brainchild from Mike Kennedy. Kennedy advertised for songwriters who can't sing and singers who can't write and offered to do whichever part they could not. Then he would record and release the completed songs. This eight-song cassette is the result. It drones on a bit, but it's not bad. Included here are tunes by a furniture delivery man, a telephone operator, an art student and a housewife."[5]

Spanish Dogs - Strange Bedfellows - 1985[edit]

"The Dogs haven`t performed a concert since E. Clay Shaw was first elected to Congress, but Mike Kennedy and crew occasionally release a cassette to remind us how well the band combined poignant observation, social commentary and fun into a variety of styles. The band was loaded with strong and stubborn personalities that somehow managed to record well as a team. Four writers are credited among the 13 songs and at least three people take turns on lead vocals. Check out Don`t Turn Your Back, Rasta Man, Whimsical Days and No Strings."[6]
