Beep Beep, "Business Casual"
Saddle Creek Records
by Kelly Doran
Feeling a bit sexually frustrated? Or maybe a little angst -- ridden and in need of a good release? Welcome to the world of Beep Beep, the latest offering from the Midwest's indie -- rock braintrust, Saddle Creek Records. On their first full -- length release, Business Casual, Beep Beep serenades us through their 10 -- song melodrama with deviant, writhing vocals and danceable beats that will make you swoon into submission. With orgasmic vocals reminiscent of Hot Hot Heat and The Darkness, lead singer Chris Hughes viciously emanates his frustrations and angst with climatic jolts of screaming, countered by haunting whispers that permeate the mind.
Definitely not for the faint of heart, Beep Beep's lyrics often revolve in a terse cycle of uncouth laments over life experiences and sexual impulses, leaving all but the most immune of nerves a bit uneasy. But, ready to embark upon a journey to the mundane world of post -- punk rock, Beep Beep definitely carries the passion and initiative to burst through social norms. Strap on your seat belt and open your mind as you screech into the vexing world of Beep Beep. The ride is worthwhile.
