This is a refreshing take on a lot of early and mid-80s female rock ‘n’ roll, with a bit of mid-90s influence as well. Killola lead off with “This Is How the World Ends,” and it sounds like a Pat Benatar cover with Veruca Salt backing vocals.
“Strung Out on Sunshine” might be continuing the theme with a vague reference to “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina & the Waves. I don’t know. The music sounds more like a Republica B-side, but the vocals again remind one of that Joan Jett ’80s style, or perhaps a more talented Courtney Love.
“Is This a Love Song” shows that this band can sound like any era’s best, with music reminiscent of both Pretty Girls Make Graves and The Go-Go’s. I didn’t even know that this was possible.
“Personal Graveyard” lets the band take on a sound a little more unique to itself, a real driving rock anthem. Add it all up, and you get a band that at worst is a guilty pleasure or at best gives you an excuse to grow a mullet so you can be cool when you see them perform live.
hey man the vip people have been asking about you. you should stop back in.
also, didn’t know you were into fat shit. missed the boat on the DTM preorder, which sucks. no way i’m shelling out $50 for a 5 song ep on vinyl. at least not til i track down all the Larry Arms stuff and shell out $300 for Situationist Comedy on pink. think i picked the worst possible label to collect.
I was too busy with work. Glad to be back!
