..say hello to the new pulp.
the guardian
..best bar none..hot tip for 2006..
the observer
..with song titles, band name and label name all scoring high on this cool-o-meter.the hot puppies are as fantastic as waking up in a sea of oreo cookies with no option but to eat your way to safety. terry is pummelling smack-disco.but its the b-side that makes off with the garlands, being a truly terrific, vitriolic suicide waltz, full of withering put-downs (if you tell me that you love me one more time, I shall be sick on your guitar) and going-home-alone-at-the-end-of-the-night-sadness.
nme
..their dark zombie girlband surf tunes ooze that seductic danger scent that made you want to snip locks of mullet off of nick cave - the waltzer-pop harpy-wail of new single, terry, that sounds like throwing muses at a satanic hoedownpuppies, like cujo then. and hot, like brimstone.
mark beaumont - nme
..the hot puppies are a hard-rocking band with balls, who still manage to sound like they should be playing a smoky jazz club somewhere. or even a honky-tonk: plenty of tremelo guitar and a closing number, how come you dont hold me no more?, that recalls hank williams, why dont you love me like you used to?, gives the set that country tinge.
artrocker
.standing at the lip of the stage, barefoot and looking like a young tori amos, its becky and her gorgeously yearning voice that makes the hot puppies the heartbreakingly cool band that they are. black cocktail dresses, romantic decadence and sounding like david bowie singing the grease soundtrack are quite clearly pointers to the way forward.
gigwise
the hot puppies are possibly one of the most outstanding bands of the year. their sound ranges from sugary 50s american diner to stomping yeah yeah years post punk, via aretha-style soul. beckys sultry vocals and feline onstage demeanor make you feel like theres no one else in the room. she harmonises with beth, creating a sound that is painstakingly heartfelt and mature beyond their years as a band.
neily alimohama - glasgow university guardian
with the mad-eyed eccentricity of kate bush, the wide eyed faux innocence of the 60s girl groups and an eager infusion of garage hammond, terry is just the slinky ticket.
vanity project
the hot puppies are confident to kick off with new single terry, its glistening keyboard lines chiming with impressive singer beckys powerful warblethis could be the start of something impressive.
charlie ivens - the fly
fierce panda boss simon williams new label fandango launches with the sound of karen o fronting a spector girl-group. hugely promising, and a superbly messy racket to boot.
