"What a great anticipated album by this Atlantan-based girl band.
I've seen thes gals on a good couple occassions and am deeply
impressed and am always blown away by their musicianship/ songwriting skills.
One has such great tracks as the opener "cheated" with vocals
by singer 'Kitty' which just gears up this album into an adrenaline charged escapade ! If you get a chance to hear this
album, check out track 7 - "this devil" .....Goosebump stuff!!
Tracks like "not pretty today" has vocalist 'Leggy' enchanting
you, then throwing you some outstanding bass-lines.
Put some umpff in your life and grab this baby!!
Enough said."

"This CD defies any attempts at carving out a niche, revelling instead in bringing you some rock. From the pop of Welcome Mat, Those Questions, and Not Pretty Today to the blues and rock of Cheated this album is a celebration of a diversity of styles and how you can express yourself in them. Singer Kitty Kowabunga's voice has matured and is a knowing and strong accompaniment to her guitarwork. She seems to have been there and experienced it and is allowing you a vicarious ride with her feelings. At the same time the band is playing songs you can rock to. There are catchy hooks in Those Questions and Welcome Mat that make you bob your head and there is a driving guitar that will push you along on This Devil, with a mix of both sentiments on Did I Mention and a powerful guitar tribute to surf and rockabilly with Roadkill. The drumwork is really impressive and there is a real tightness in the percussive interplay between Leggy Limbeaux's bass and Betty Boomskins's drum kit. Trixie Riptide's guitar provides the hard edged low-end that rounds the sound of this quartet out. It's amazing how much this band has evolved since their self-released album, "Talk Your Way Out of This." The songs are more complex, using tempo changes and solos to make relatively short tracks seem to occupy more space than they do. They seem to be really exploring rock and pop and what they can contribute to both, not holding back in how they do it, using a Farfisa organ there or referencing a variety of influences in the guitarwork and melodies, from CCR to Liz Phair. Get yourself a copy of this CD, because these girls rock!"

This is the one!!
