Heather Newkirk, the front of this hard-driving-rock-out-pop-girl thang, is the best lead singer to hit the scene since Joan Jett. And although a listener to the CD does not get the benefit of her magnetic and all-rebel-rock live wire delivery, it shines through on the recordings. This CD is destined to be my summer soundtrack for 2003, like Slanted and Enchanted was back in 92. Like the Team Dresch record in 93, like the Breeders record was in 95, like Versus was in 97, and like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs all this year. A little garagey, no insipid songwriting, with stops and starts, big beats, and tone-driven guitar riffs. all music that will make you get speeding tickets if you listen to it in your car.

A friend of mine bought the album and brought it over so we could listen to it. We were both blown away. We couldn't stop listening to it( still can't). we were pleasently surprised to see they were playing in D.C. the next week. They were awesome live as well. they are like bizarro breeders, for lack of a better term. I highly suggest the album and if you can catch them live....please do.
