Review in Terminal Boredom

Mean Bikini demo cassette
All girl London punk band with the new Rough Trade sound. Or the now Damaged Goods sound. Super loud and booming drums/bass recording style, a little post-punk rhythmically with droog-like gang vocals. Quirky and semi-cute tunes about animals, bed bugs and monkeys. “Sick of Love” is an A-Side (and they have a single coming out this year), a real post-garage banger. “Bed Bugs” is almost Slampt-label-esque (Lung Leg maybe?), sort of out of tune and angularly artastic. There’s certainly a bit of Headcoatees to them as well when they push the garage (“Monkey See Monkey Do”). Not a bad female foil to Hygiene/Pheromoans or a less abrasive Good Throb.(RK)
