This Minnesotan band successfully combines 90’s girl punk a la Sleater-Kinney or Veruca Salt with a dry, midwestern garage rock sound on “Blake Superior.” This opens with a guitar lick that sounds like Bob Stinson (another famous Minnesotan) covering Chuck Berry before settling into a punk groove. In fact, the manic energy doesn’t stop, the guitars take sharp twists and turns like a drag race, punctuating a great pop song that never runs out of riff or hook. The production is simple as punk rock should be, not polished much more than early Bikini Kill or Bratmobile. Plus this band has the best name ever.
