Hey wow the Soviettes are really really good. You could say they play poppy punk, but that doesn't really do the music justice. It's fast, loud, fun, sneering, confident... makes you smile.

How do they do it? Well, for starters, they're great musicians. Solid guitar chops, nice distortion effects, strong drum beats, and it's all really tight. All four members (three women, with a guy on drums) sing on the record (but the women do 99% of the singing), and they're at their best when several of them are shouting at once. And I mean shouting in a good way - they create tuneful harmonies laced with punk rock attitude. Just listen to "Matt's Song" and you'll know what I mean. Great lyrics, too.

The Soviettes LP plays like a snapshot of a well-rehearsed live band. The recording, mixing, and mastering are just right, giving the album a full, rich sound. Turn it up loud.

The Soviettes are simply smarter and better than most bands out there. Leo Kottke, Prince, The Soviettes ... Minnesota's finest.

I can't say enough good things about this record. Solid songs from start to finish. A ton of melody delivered by loud guitars, great vocals, energy and personality. To my ears, completely unpretentious and genuine. A rock and roll band to believe in. In a perfect world, Land of the Clear Blue Radio would be a huge hit and the Soviettes would grace the cover of Rolling Stone. Easily my favorite record of the year.

Wow! I saw the Soviettes get a favorable review in the "end of the year" issue of City Pages (IIRC), and figured I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did! Great rock/punk music with an attitude. It hasn't left my CD player for months.
