3.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate in disco-core, September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New Transistor Heroes (Audio CD)

Bis are a fun band. They make you think, but above all they make you wanna dance. Comparisons could be made to a less annoying and abrasive Atari Teenage Riot with their techno-beats and punk rock guitars and male-female vocals, or Nation Of Ulysses with their youth-power anthems. The drawback with this album is that it's much too long. If they pared it down to about 12 songs, it'd be a great album. As it is, it's just well above average.

5.0 out of 5 stars get ENERGIZED!!!, November 12, 1998

Cute and catchy, Bis can be labelled as candy-pop music. Be warned: Bis has a very unique sound which may take some getting used to. However, anyone who loves music and commends a diverse musical taste looking to expand their interest - THIS ALBUM IS A MUST!!! Do not pass it over for kiddy music just for its fast, clever, catchy beats. I am a college student who cannot get enough of this infectious sound. The lyrics, like the music, are also very unique & clever relating to a sci-fi yet totally modern tone. Some may here this once and shove it in the bottom of their cd collection, i was nearly one of them, but just give Bis a fair chance and you'll be greatly rewarded. Soon, w/o even realizing it, you'll be infected too!

5.0 out of 5 stars High-Energy Fusion Music, August 11, 1999

During one of my friend's "musical exchanges," he lent me a copy of Bis' "This is Teen-C Power!" I immediately fell in love with the three teens from Scotland, and scoured my local music stores looking for anything by this amazing band. After a long search, I found this CD, sprung the money, and initiated myself into the Teen-C Nation. This CD is a 73 minute stomp and romp through punk/disco fusion, complete with piercingly satirical lyrics and a charmingly skewed view of the world. You won't be dissapointed unless you're a Skinny Tie :)
