Upon first listen to this record, I thought, "Oh no, not another three-piece pop-punk band." I had to listen again to be sure it wasn’t the same watered-down pablum you hear on the radio. Thankfully, it’s not. Singer/bassist Kelly Ogden has a sassiness in her voice you can’t deny on the faster songs, and a sincerity you can’t ignore on the slower ones.

Lots of tracks about relationships here, with "Jackie Chan" being most notable: "I got dumped and I lost face / Now you’re gonna die… / ’Cause I can fight like Jackie Chan." My favorite song on the disc, though, is the hunger-inspired "Skinny," about our image-obsessed society and the unreal physical expectations that are forced upon us through the media. (Uh, basically, they’re screwing up the little girls.). And the cover of "Be My Baby" from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack is just icing on the cake.
