Sounds Like: "Hmmm, sounds like old school Riot Grrrl, like (obscure, diminutive, fierce, Northerners) Bette Davis & The Balconettes, like a whole bundle of f****ng fun, with a bass that louder than all shit, and twice as funky as The Gossip. At least three songs verge on rudimentary, primal ooze rap - excellent stuff, truly excellent."This quote came from Everett True writing in 'Careless Talk Costs Lives'. Everett later noted, that at this particular gig, we weren't actually using a bass. He was obviously just feeling our funky shit.
