Trio B.C.

All girl Texas power guit/bass/drums trio gaining huge buzz. Unique fine vocals really distinguish this band, lovely. Think Magneta Lane, Pretenders, Gossip. We got their first cd when it was a cd-r and the band was very humble, appreciative to kzsu, the production lower and the overall tone far more DIY (and better IMHO) and now they are playing festivals on huge bills and have been picked up by Joan Jett’s label. This cd gathered dust on the review shelf for months, much to my surprise as I assumed it’d be jumped on and hoped KZSU might contribute to their charting/success (I used this cd to gauge how well the review shelf was being perused). Its really good. Excellent song writing, melodies, fine production, great playing.

1) starts low-fi, sounds great, but then blows up into full on production that sounds even better, mid paced somewhat minor toned
2) upbeat hit quality, bouncy
3) triplet waltzy more introspective
4) driving intense rock, great production tricks thrown in, subtle
5) a slow romantic ballad that gets heavy in the last 30 seconds
6) upbeat swingy retro feel somehow
7) midpaced swingy rockabilly flavor comes out even more on this one, totally rocks out for last minute
8) ah just a lovely hard ballad
9) mid paced rocker starting to reveal their roots in 50’s rock
9) upbeat hip shaking bouncing love song that hits on all cylinders
10) jangly and poppy and if there was any sense in this world would be played on Alice or Evil105 or in the supermarket
11) sorta forgettable romantic feeling thing, reminiscent of The Raspberries or the like, but not hit quality
12) upbeat rocker that uses a cool phase effect, just good plain rockin’
13) bent guitar and bass lines, a slower dirgier heavy thoughtful piece to wrap it up, but oh! The VOCALS! Sung en espanol, this band can put dingleballs on my headliner any day of the week
