Band of Susans Blessing and Curse 12″
Poppy yet rhythmically driving, this release shows lots of power, but rarely really cuts loose. There are three guitars here, three women named Susan, and five songs that should have been shorter. Potential.

Basic garage rock with some punk influences seemingly gleaned from the CLASH’s Give ’Em Enough Rope period. Music of this type normally doesn’t have politicized lyrics, but to their credit the TWINS are exceptions in this regard. Low marks for musical originality, high marks for persistence and a sharp tongue.
Great thrash cover of the KINKS’ “Dandy”, a couple of slower tunes with a good snotty-sounding vocalist, and a recitation of the Gettysburg Address set to ominous sounds. Enjoyable.
