5.0 out of 5 stars Funtown is my Favorite!, June 26, 2002

By	Mommy Kind "creepycrawly" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This CD should be called "Happiness Tickles" because it tickled me in all of the right places with pure glee. These songs make me want to bake delicious, fluffy, pink-frosted cakes with rainbow dots on top. I loved every track and look forward to hearing more from The Beards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soooooooo incredible!, April 14, 2003

By	jon sieruga (Redlands, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ladies from The Muffs and Tiger Trap combine to make this beautiful pop collection of lost-love songs and punky heartache. Produced by the band and Redd Kross' Jeff McDonald, the tunes are both remarkably tender("Sidewalks", "t.s. eliot")and ballsy("Make it in America", "Big Dumb World"). A lot of my friends still can't get used to Kim Shattuck's gloriously doofy presence and gravelly voice, but this is a nice introduction to her as she's not front-and-center at all times(as with The Muffs). I hope some Muffs fans are born with the album, it would be nice to see. A+

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm in Heaven. Pop Bliss!!!, April 26, 2002

By	Adam A. Blomberg (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like the Muffs, you will love the Beards. The Beards are Kim Shattuck from pop supergroup the Muffs and Lisa Marr and Sherri Solinger from Buck. I just can't stop listening to this cd. The cd flows from one punk-pop gem to the next and when you are done, you just have to listen again. The cd also doubles as a cd-rom that you can plop in your computer and see videos for all 11 songs. The highlight of the cd has to be the monkeeesque "sidewalks" that would even make Davey Jones blush. Thank you Beards.
