Sounds Like: "PUSSY PIRATES If you can get past their name, these five women (four from Ann Arbor, one from Chicago) might just charm your socks off. They all play the part of the tough girl, with stay-the-hell-away hairdos and curled upper lips, but their punchy doomsday horn punk brims with love, spirit, and humor. The two lead singers growl and shout about demons, jailbait, a half-eaten nun--even when they coo it's full of shrapnel--and between lines they deliver ska-tinged stings and hyperventilating solos (one doubles on tenor sax, the other on alto and trumpet). Meanwhile spooky tendrils of surf guitar dart in and out of the choppy, hectic stomp of the rhythm section. It's rousing, painful, and over with quick, like a bar fight." - Liz Armstrong, Chicago Reader 3/30/07
"The Pussy Pirates are impossible not to like when you see them. They're rugged and glistening, a whirlwind even in a small room. They've got the gleeful abandon of the Slits and the rock of the Bush Tetras. The Pussy Pirates shout and wrangle with their instruments like they're strange animals barely controlled. They're the sharp tang that cuts through the endless wash of mediocre bands in mediocre bars." - Josh Stiechman, CURRENT Magazine -May 2005
"The Pussy Pirates are a musical horror comic"
