When Washington, D.C.'s SoulSide closed up shop, three-fifths of the band mutated into a darker, sexier beast as Girls Against Boys. Their second album, 1993's VENUS LUXURE NO. 1, introduced many to their unique sound. Though still powered by the might of rhythmic post-hardcore, their songs glistened like a lounge lizard's hair cream with the swagger of a pickup artist. Singer Scott McCloud's gritty voice imparts seductions and threats while the pummeling dual bass crawls along like fingers slowly drifting down a silk stocking. "Satin Down" lurches through dark alleys with death-march drums and a droning guitar building in subtle menace, while the fuzzy "Let Me Come Back" throws its weight around like a train full of hobos. Through it all, however, VENUS LUXURE manages to be attractive and heroic despite all the lurid trappings.

Magnet (p.106) - "GVSB's sophomore disc plugs the group's fast-and-louche style into a set of songs finally worthy of their creepy charisma."
Melody Maker (9/11/93, p.30) - "...VENUS LUXURE comes whistling through the air at you in a slo-mo bloodthirsty blur and proceeds to pound your cranium into sawdust..."
NME (Magazine) (10/9/93, p.39) - 6 - Good - "...the musical moods [on VENUS LUXURE NO. 1 BABY] are almost universally dark, although sly lyrical humor saves shuddering doomfests like `Learned It' from premature burial..."

Having fully made their case with Venus Luxure, Girls Against Boys kept on course with the equally fine Cruise Yourself. The hints of lounge and Vegas were even more explicit here -- the cocktail artwork on the CD, the fact that one particularly bitter number is called "My Martini." Again, though, these weren't the gauche clichés of characters like Combustible Edison, but signposts of a vicious, cutting quality in lyrics ...

Girls Vs. Boys are the low-riding Cadillac of rock. In Scott McCloud's gritty, deadpan vocals, one can't help but visualize the urban decay of their New York City domain--a place where filth sounds sorta sexy, and where a low-end bass section has replaced the heartbeat.
On "Super-fire" and "TheKindaMzkYouLike," Girls Against Boys throb with the monotonous ...

SEE VIDIO ATwww.myspace.com/kimmillersongsTexas singer/songwriter Kim Miller used half a dozen different studios, from Nashville to Santa Fe, to record her new album, “Risk of the Roar.” But the physical space she covered to get it done was nothing compared to the space in time it took. More than ten years have flown by since Miller released her debut album, 1996’s “Child of the Big Sky.”Her explanation for the intermission is simple: “Life intervened. Sometimes we get called off one path for another. This album is the fruit of my diversions.”Of course, the events themselves were far more than “diversions.” Not long after that album’s release, she chose to put aside her budding music career (which included performing at venues like the Cactus Café in Austin Texas and the main-stage of the Kerrville Wine & Music Festival) to take on “a beautiful responsibility to somebody I loved dearly who needed me.” That was her aging grandmother, whose image as a young girl on horseback graced the cover of Miller’s first album. Then she faced her own health issue: a life-threatening illness from which she has since recovered.“It jolted me into realizing how important it was to return to my music,” Miller says of that experience. “It couldn’t be on hold any longer.” So she cashed in her retirement and took a leap of faith. “Risk of the Roar’s” title song, and thematic center, comes from that courageous plunge. Miller says of the song, “It’s about the risk of reclaiming yourself from a cornered existence of suppressed creativity and expired love…it’s about trading safety for the opportunity of that risk.”The music Miller creates is ethereal, ...
