On Pretty Ugly, Lunachicks play as fast as ever, but display a melodic flair that owes as much to girl groups as it does to riot grrrl groups. Right out of the gate the band delivers a delightful piece of bubblegum simplicity with the gleefully Ramones-inspired "Yeah," and the intensity of that track -- not to mention its melodic appeal -- is maintained for most of the disc. There's a sweetness to the material which belies Lunachicks' reputation for gross-out gimmickry and feminist anger. As Pretty Ugly proves, Lunachicks are a band who, more than anything else, love the genderless fun of playing rock & roll. ~ Andy Hinds

It only makes sense that a generation of middle-class white kids who (to make a broad generalization) often find their refuge from humanity in entertainment -- whose psyches are saturated with sarcastic sitcom one-liners, celebrity gossip, and overexposure to niche marketing -- would produce bands like Nerf Herder. Like their debut album of Weezer-esque post-grunge punk-pop, the band's sophomore effort How to Meet Girls is approximately half an hour's worth of the goofiness and smart-alecky cynicism you'd expect from aforementioned media-junkie types. It's all jokey and willfully disposable, of course, and while the band makes vaguely self-deprecating references to being sexually unappealing geeks, it's all taken to a ridiculous extreme, ensuring that nothing ...

The Lunachicks' shtick was well in place by the time Babysitters on Acid appeared, a debut which didn't have much to say, but said it with enough base humor and zealous punk antics to keep the spirit of comic anti-revolution alive. Unsurprisingly, like many punk revivalists in the 1990s, the Lunachicks were busy with pop culture references (The Brady Bunch, James Bond) and offensive lyrics ("Lord, I hope they never come back!/ok kid, step on the oven rack/you wanna know how the baby is?/don't ...

VOCAB ~ Biography* Musical Bio: song #1 on “First n Foremost…” albumOn February 6th, 1983 in Toronto Canada, Sean Harvey (a.k.a. Vocab) was born. Both his mother and father had emigrated separately from Jamaica and were introduced through a mutual friend. Vocab’s father (Carl Harvey) was a guitar player for a number of different bands, (among them, Grammy winning Toots and the Maytals). His father’s hectic schedule as a performer conflicted with his mothers’ idea of stability, both emotionally and financially. The relationship was short lived. After Vocab’s first birthday, contact with his father was limited to visitation which dwindled as he got older. In the absence of his father, the young boy (like so many other kids in his demographic) was forced to look elsewhere for male role models. With his mother constantly working and little or no adult supervision after school, Vo found himself with a lot of time to kill and not much to kill it with. So, he did what most young kids did that were stuck in the big city with nothing to do; he hit the streets. Running with a group of older kids, Sean saw more than his share of fights, stabbings and the occasional parties getting shot up. He frequently spent time talking to the fathers of his friends who’d already been through the system. With his mothers’ strict rules, the adolescent decided young that he wasn’t going to succumb to the same pitfalls it seemed so many of his friends were doomed. It wasn’t rap that he used to elevate him from his circumstances. It was his first love, basketball. But, when his NBA hoop dreams turned out to be just that, his love for hip-hop was the one constant from his childhood to adult years. As young as 8, Sean and his cousin Chris would make mixtapes using three ghetto blasters, one to record and the other aimed directly at the speakers of the first. In middle and high school he made mix cd’s for his friends under the moniker “Ridgeway’s finest: DJ Fuck You.” Rapping never entered his mind as a possibility until years later. After moving out to Portland (P-Town) with his mother, the 15 year old young man from Toronto (T-dot) found himself in extremely unfamiliar surroundings. The quick change from an extremely multicultural east coast city to a predominantly white side of town and attending a mostly white school was a culture shock, to say the least.It wasn’t until the summer after his junior year at Lincoln High, when he was first introduced to writing raps. His best friend from Toronto, Bentley, flew to Portland to spend the summer with Cab and his family. When Cab would get home from summer school Bentley would have at least three verses written. One of the last days of Bentley’s trip, he challenged Vocab to write a verse. Vocab attentively agreed, and in about 30 minutes the verse was finished and Cab had found his calling. For the next year and a half Vocab put himself through a (game like) rap training course. Going back through his classic CD’s and dissecting everything from rappers word play to melodies. He taught himself how to count bars, write hooks, set up punch lines, create rhyme schemes and do everything ...
