CD Reviews

When you're North Coast
D. A. Sumrall | New Haven, CT | 09/08/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The third album from the best band to come out of Minneapolis/St.Paul since The Replacements; I'm not sh*ting you. Punk bands are of one of two varieties these days--Southern Californian faux-political garbage rock or poppy I'm-a-35-yr-man-who-writes-songs-about-how-I-dont-like-my-parents-telling-me-to-take-out-the-trash. So when you get to listen to a punk band that actually sounds like a punk band (see The Epoxies as well) you take notice. What's great about The Soviettes is their intense brevity and razor sharp hooks. This band will probably never release an album over forty minutes, unless it be a double-live album (PLEASE!!PLEASE!!!)



"Multiply and divide" is an openning track that sets a proper tone for the album as a whole. The Soviettes fluctuate between speed-chorus tunes and wickedly crafted gems that are a cut above. "Middle of the Night" and "Thinking of You" give you a glimpse of what pop punk songs should sound like. "(Do)The Stagger" and "How do you like that" are vicious tracks that demand you hunt this band out to chant along to as you pogo with a $1 beer in your hand. The outro chorus in "(Do) The Stagger" of "C'mon" is as delicious as having your scrotum crushed by the heel of a dominatrix (also see "Rollergirls").



This band is painfully proud of being from the Twin Cities. When you're North Coast everyone sings, you drink GrainBelt Premium, and you take your punk in furious doses. The Soviettes LP III is a top five album of the year."
Rockin' & Energetic!

"There's an awesome enthusiasm in this band. It's got that great 90s vibe, which in my humble opinion sounds a lot like 'No Doubt'. If you're a old school more softcore punk rock fan, this is the CD you'd play in your car on the way to work or school and still be dancing to by lunch time. Definitely reccomended. :)"
Love this band!

"I got their other 2 records on Adeline but I like this one the best. They had a great song on the Rock Against Bush comp, and it's on here again. Totally rockin record all the way through."
