Self-titled CD
Bomp!
Genres: punk rock
Feb 28 - Mar 6 2005 |
Les Hell on Heels is a spunky, all-girl punk rock band out of
Phoenix with a solid base in the indie scene. With projects like
The Peeps and The American Foxes already behind them,
they know what they're doing and they know how to do it well.
This album's eleven songs are all exciting, energy-packed rock songs
that recall bands like Bikini Kill and The Pandoras.
There's a
raunchy, sexually-charged atmosphere about this release, but the songs
seem to lack a melodic and compositional variety, meaning the album
can wear out its welcome over multiple listens. In many ways
this type of music works best live. Fortunately, a number of
the songs work really well here; it doesn't take a Yale degree to
enjoy the inherent awesomeness of scorchers like "My Kind of
Trouble" and Jeff Dahl cover "Ain't So Cool." 78%
