      I think it's the "vocalist"... not a great voice, just talks & shouts really, while hardly rhyming, or making sense. Some of the lyrics are a bit unoriginal. The music is is ok. Not amazing, but not bad.

      nope, mr. Professor Booty. Some people just can't handle a three-girl-one-boy punk-ish band being succesful and I guess that's what he's referring to. They're clearly over-analyzing their music because they're girls and they sound powerful, and you can find some evidence in this comment section. Just my opinion tho.

    There's a lot of post punk going on here. Early talking heads, sugarcubes (obviously) and even some of the brit bands like wire etc. It's more refreshing than a lot of the garbage thats mass produced and churned out -and the fact that the hipsters don't like it is a good thing.

    Lots of fun and quite good. Reminds of post punk UK bands from the 1980s, but with more melody (hello Viv Albertine!). Always interesting how singers who aren't native English speakers pronounce certain easy words like "can" and "back." Provides a nice weird edge.

    Friggin' hell KEXP, the mic was glitching out for an entire song, the singer had to keep pushing the ruddy cable in, no-one on the tech team thought to hand her a spare mic, but waited until after the song, when she'd had to literally ask for some tape, to then just throw a reel at them, expecting the bandmembers to flipping well tape it themselves! Makes me mad!

      Funny I did the same thing and think I came up with my answer. I like listening to it but can't stand looking at them lol. I mean no disrespect to them what so ever and it has nothing to do with attractiveness I just don't dig there appearance style and it sort of throws me off. Also really odd (but cool) seeing a left handed female guitar player. Its almost like seeing a unicorn.

      i suppose they don't fit in your ideals of what a female musician should dress like...? they're bad ass musicians, the same way that you respect a male musician based on his music THAT'S what you should be paying attention to. they're amazing in their own right, i've seen them live and they're energy is contagious . wish people would stop projecting they're ideals of what woman should act and dress like, instead base your value on they're talent and what they're actually there to do.

      his style is very much a supportive one that doesn't impose itself on the other parts, which is why his skill (showing at 24:00 for example) is a bit less noticeable to the untrained ear. If you don't like that, you may just have a problem with cooperative, modest masculinity.
