This isn’t bad. It’s inspired by your good friends at Pretty Girls Make Graves camp. The big difference is that the songs are short. So they’re SHORT, anthemic and plodding. For those that think this type of music isn’t actually building to anything at all, then you’re in luck, because these songs end right away.
We’ve all heard female-fronted garage rock before. This could very easily make you very happy. Some of the tracks are slower, such as “Bombay Sapphire.” It sounds like a Hole reject. The faster stuff definitely works better for them. The guitar on a lot of these tracks even reminds me of Red Aunts, but the pace of the songs is too slow, and the songs are too long. (Red Aunts famously wrote “14 songs 23 minutes” on the back of one of their albums.
“Los Angeles” stands out. It sounds like a Velocity Girl song, and we can never have enough of that. This is one of the best tracks on the album. “I’m a Ninja” is fun, and “Loser” has good backing vocals. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but I bet they are fantastic live.
I saw this guys play live at The Smell in Downtown Los Angeles last friday, and I have to say you were right. They are fantastic live! The lead singer is pretty awesome, she really knows how to interact with the crowd and kept us pretty entertained throught the whole show. Their set was very short though, I think they played about 7 songs in about 20 minutes or so.
Unfortunately I didn’t have the money to buy their record at the show, so I paid the extra bucks for shipping and bought the album online the next day on their website http://www.pleasefuckingkillme.com (pretty funny name for a website right?). We’ll see if you are right about it the album too…
