They&rsquo;ve been described in terms as creative as their music: &ldquo;Imagine a high school dance where Red Cross, Black Flag, X-Ray Spex, The Slits and The Germs are all playing at with an updated flare of excitement and anxiousness.&rdquo; Combining their love of noise/punk with their unstoppable youthful energy they create a captivating, hedonistic blend of spirited, funny and structured punk music. It&rsquo;s a blast to listen to, the best thing I&rsquo;ve heard in ages.</p> </div> </div> </div> <p><img width="200" height="200" align="middle" src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g261/Tuff-Ghost/165554.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>&nbsp;Mika Miko &ndash; <em>We Be Xuxa</em><br />&nbsp;9/10</p><p><a href="http://slashtheseats.com/node/12338" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://slashtheseats.com/node/12338#comments Reviews Album reviews Black Flag Mika Miko Red Cross The Germs The Ramones The Slits We Be Xuxa X-Ray Spex Mon, 18 May 2009 03:49:03 +0000 Einstein Music Journal 12338 at http://slashtheseats.com
