Pretty female melodic vocals juxtaposed over low fi simple fuzzy rock. “Bubblegum punk”? I love it, makes me as happy as Lovechild, Henry’s Dress, the Donnas very first stuff, maybe early Blondie, Giant Value, I dunno, its just great. Sweet simple distortion on the guitar makes this whole band. And the great vocals. And the simple straight no bullshit drums. Oh yeah and the perfect bass. Made up of former members of various Bay Area bands (Teenagers, Dragon Rojo, Vatican, Mystery Girls, et al).

1) crunchy, straight ahead beat
2) noisier, dirty with feedback in intro
3) another driving beat
4) slightly surfy beat, great party dance feel with hand claps
5) simple driving, great
6) slower epic introspective feel, builds toward end
7) heavy surf feel
8) slower
9) upbeat tom tom surf beat
10) upbeat, cute simple
11) head bobbiing rocking, fuzzy, melodic vocs
12) slow plodding simple ballad
13) happy surf feel, epic lyrical melodies, smacks of Motown almost
