"Our rich kids cook better meth than yours!" (except perhaps in Missouri)
OH YOU GORGEOUS TROPHY WIVES, YOU: a mini-bio
Catchy enough to be pop-punk (a la Descendents, Queers, Lillingtons) but nihilistic and irreverent like The Dead Boys, Turbonegro or early Supersuckers, Atlanta's Trophy Wives are a rarity in a punk scene dominated by self-consciously retro and campy garage bands and self-consciously emotional and screechy "hardcore" and emo bands. The Trophy Wives aren't overtly political (although a quick scan of some of their song titles show they don't care too much for right-wing rednecks). They're not gimmicky (though drummer Will Brown has occasionally donned a sailor's uniform onstage while drunk). They're not cute, sensitive, ironic, or geek-chic. Leave that to the college radio darlings. The Trophy Wives are content to kick-out the 3-chord jams with volume and hooks to spare. Bonus style points: Every member is college-educated and cavity-free (...I think).

The Trophy Wives want your money, your dignity, and custody of your children. But we'll settle for your money.
If you can play this, you can probably play all of our songs. You bastard.
