Press Reviews From The H.M.D. Music Resource Guide 4/2002: TARGET YOU - How can one really review an album from 3 chicks that can kick your ass? Simple. NO BULLSHIT!! That's what this album is all about. Pop-Punk. You can be serious and you can have fun as well! That's exactly what these wild ass gals have done w/ their debut album, TARGET YOU. Upon the initial contact with the disc, 2 things came to mind: 1. Interesting cover of them in gangster suits pointing their "heaters" at you. Hence the title, "Target You". The back of the cover shows their true target and they hit the mark. Appears to be a girl on the grass shot to death. As you scan down you see the song titles. The first cut says it all. "Assassination Of A Beauty Queen". Hmmm.... nuff said? and 2. If you're a guy, wondering if they could be just as "lethal" in their musical offering as well. Bitch Rock dude! The names themselves leave you with something to ponder about. Sqeaky (Guitar/Vocals), Pigpen (Bass/Vocals) and Donna (Drums/Vocals/Trumpet). After a couple of spins of this disc, you wanna join their cause. Whatever their cause may be. It doesn't matter. You'll be singing to these wild and somewhat creative punk licks and lyrics in no time! Helps to save the dying art of the air-guitar! Kudos! The opening cut, the afformentioned, "Assassination Of A Beauty Queen" is pure pop-punk to the hilt. Obviously you now know what you're in for! The bands' lyrics are quite entertaining. Some are catch phrases that I use from time to time as well. I rolled when I opened up their case and saw excerpts of their songs on the inner back cover. Gotta love it! The song itself is about a popular chick who befriends a lesser known girl and keeps it a secret. "What would Daddy think?" And the result is the title. Track 2, "I Am You", is my choice cut. This song kicks ass with it's numerous start/stop riffs that are tight as hell! The overdubs of guitar add to Squeaky's licks and gives it a little more flavor. I love this cut about a trying to run from yourself. I find myself air-riffing this cut everytime I hear it. Pure punk! "Hate System", is another track about having to conform into a certain group and her saying, "Fuck your overrated society" and "...must look like Barbie". Another catchy lyric, "Gonna get a tan. Gonna go fuck the band. I'll do anything to get what I want." She doesn't want to be a part of that bullshit. Can't say that I'd blame her either. The title track, "Target You", vocally has some good production work here w/ some minor effects. The guitar seems a little less in the front but has some good chord changes after the second chorus. The only bad point to make is the track seems to run out of steam and die. Sad too. "Night At The Comet" must've been based on a true story it seems of a girl who walked home and was murdered and raped. Lyrically is structured very nicely, but is sometimes hard to listen to by the 3 chord guitar riffs. Shows some serious potential for them as song writers. Good break again before the end of the song. They can really come up with some killer licks if they wanted to. That's the only problem with punk music. K.eep I.t S.imple S.tupid "Miss F*ck You" , Self explanatory! Gotta listen to this shit yourself to see what I mean. A "death do us part" song to the band itself. "Scenester" was a shocking little cut at first. The opening notes from Pigpen's bass and Donna's drums were awefully similar to The Doors' "L.A. Woman". Lyrically, these girls don't take shit from the "in-crowd" bitches that go around. "There go those virgin whores again", need I say more? The song that has the most crossover opportunity would have to be "FSU". Almost ballad-y, for lack of a better term. If they cut the punk riffs down just a bit, it would have a killer feel to it! But we are talking about GF here. These gals do whatever they want. DUH! "Crazy Train", seems to have the "filler-track" feel until you listen to it a little more. Gets better as you groove on it a bit. "Voodoo Doll" closes the album with one last stab and gets straight to the "point". The biggest surprise is the bonus cut. A hidden track at the end w/ Donna doin' "The Star Spangled Banner". Nice touch! You go girl! Overall, TARGET YOU is a good kick ass album from a kick ass chick band!! NUFF SAID!! Can't wait till their next release! 4/2002
