Bio
Three boys and one girl playing magnificently realized,..yet poorly recorded pop songs and having lots and lots of fun. ..matthew also spends the rest of his time running ..skatterbrain!.... .. Our split 7" with The Garlands is out now on Atomic Beat Records! ..BUY ONE HERE!.. ...... .... DOWNLOAD OUR 5 SONG EP FOR FREE! ..RIGHT HERE!...... .. ...... ..EP Review on Heaven Is Above Your Head:.... .."[The EP] includes five old and new songs, full of ramshackle guitars recorded with minimal means. "Cate's Crush" is a new favourite with its pairing of Juniper's choppy guitar sound with the fizz of Henry's Dress. The melodies are everywhere, hardly concealed by the lo-fi trappings. "Plum Coloured Sky" will have to be the old favourite then, with a guitar intro that sounds like it's been nicked from the most credible of sources. I do wish they'd let the lyrics come through a bit more, which is why I'd love to hear them with newly added (from the looks of it on Myspace) singer Rachel. But this is an amazing start that could well mean that their next release will be on a label like Art Fag, Captured Tracks or HoZac.".. .... ..Jezebel Music:.... .."Rachel Shallue, lead singer from Baltimore’s The Sugarplums, has the smallest feet on the East Coast. An attempt to fit more than two lemons inside one of her shoes would be futile. Shallue positioned these tiny shoes parallel to the front of the tiny Cake Shop stage platform while she sang leads and harmonies with her drummer. The Sugarplums’ sound reflected their name, but not in a naïve way; the vocal lines pranced in front of the reverberating guitars and were interesting, poppy, and pleasing to listen to. The Plums were tapped into that K Records jangle sound; they inspired me to get reacquainted with some Saturday Looks Good to Me and Beat Happening, bands with modest guitar hooks, romantic vocals, and stories about being drunk at summer pool parties."........"Dream Of Us".... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ..
