Hard Girls [2009] Hello

sound: Indie Rock/Punk
myspace
Truthfully this record is probably more like something you would see on CTS, but for the sake of diversity i will indulge you. This band plays something between the raspy vocals and hard rock feel you should expect from Indie Rock outfits, while also infusing the uptempo punk drum beats you might expect from my Punk Emo posts of late. Mostly i want to say this is a super fun summer feel EP, that's fucking infectious and a steady high. Anyway they have a blog where you can keep up with the band, although they haven't updated it in a while :( In my opinion this record is pretty fantastic and they have it linked up for free, which is always cool, so check out their sweet merch pronto. Cheers.

Just before the much awaited release of Menos El Oso MTB put out imo the BEST EP of their long and glorious careers. All tracks flow beautifully together and i am not ashamed to say i have screamed at the band on several occasions to just "fucking play ROBS ALIEN!". I probably haven't ever mentioned on this site just how much i adore, respect, and idolize this band.

You absolutely could not tell me there existed a more flawless album when i was 14. Possibly because
A) at the time there was no Menos or Planet of Ice
B) going to Minus the Bear shows was a religion, not a hobby
C) i wanted (want) Dave Knudson to do terrible, unspeakable things to me

So as you can imagine, at this time in my life i have heard these songs about 5 or 4 million times. And i can honestly say there is still something completely untouchable about the musicality, the creativity, the artistic design and fluidity of this record. This album is why i created Chill Sauce in for my itunes genre's, and this band is fucking out of control. Cheers.
