" Noisy, girly punk. ParaFernalia's 'Weekend Anarchist' is snotty, in-your-face, lo-fi garage-punk, full of menace and tinny distorted guitars. Its catchy simplicity harks back to the dawn of American punk, in the early seventies. Good, simple, clever, aggressive fun."National Student (Fresher Sounds Volume 2)Free CD 2005 " www.national-student.co.uk..................................
