AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Meanies have a warped, disturbing take on the clownish, hooky punk of the Dickies and the Ramones. Since their sense of humor is somewhat skewed, much of 10% Weird appeals to only a select group people, mainly devoted retro-punk listeners. Those that aren't insatiable punk fans will not find anything of interest, but dedicated fans of silly, irreverent punk will find the record will sustain their interest, even with a couple of weak spots.

From LastFM:
Blowing up in the face of the San Francisco pop punk expulsion came Beak, who served up a throbbing cocktail of Flipper-like noise on this Insignificant Records CD. Blarin' sax, wailin' vox, and a would-be Muppet behind the drumkit – you tell me what's not to love.

Artist Biography by Michael Sutton

Loved by critics and the Boston bar band circuit, the Raindogs were ready to break through for mass consumption. However, the group's roots rock sound never took off on a national level; it didn't help that their label shut down after releasing their second album. In the '80s, leader Mark Cutler (vocals, guitar) fronted the Schemers, a band that also flirted with chart success. In 1990, the Raindogs, named after a Tom Waits LP, released their debut full-length Lost Souls on Atco. Drawing comparisons to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan should've been beneficial to the group, but press rhapsodies and regional stardom weren't enough to sell records. The Raindogs recorded another album, 1991's Border Drive-In Theater, before Atco folded. Not long after the band broke up, groups with a similar style such as Counting Crows and the Wallflowers became MTV and radio favorites. In 1995, Cutler released his first solo effort, Gasboy; it was chosen as Top CD of the Year by the Los Angeles Times. The follow-up, Skylolo, appeared in 1998. Cutler then formed Mark Cutler & Lexington 1-2-5 with Mike Tanaka (bass) and Bob Giusti (drums), recording a self-titled debut in 2000.
