Sounds Like
Think sumptuous slices of shimmering 80's girl led indie-pop - for arguments sake say - the Bangles rewired with the Primitives mindset - and arm them with a Shangri-La's type of bittersweet bubblegum pop prowess. - Losing Today
Melancholy-yet-beautiful indie-pop loveliness; yet again I fall in love with this band. - NARC.
Sweet 80's indie pop tunesmithery, with a vocal not unlike Fairground Attraction at times but far more heartfelt and perky. - Cuckoo Press
Like being booted in the balls by the girl next door, a knickerbocker glory of pure pop thrills laced with lyrical cyanide. - NARC.
Dreamy, danceable jangly pop. - Oh Inverted World
The bastard child of The Cure and Belle & Sebastian. - NARC.
Jennie and the Bets formed at a rubbish New Year's Eve party in 2004 and have since released two fizzy EPs, 'Fight Or Flight' and 'I Believe In You' as well as a 7" single, 'Stolen Kisses', on their own fakeindielabel imprint. These releases have cemented their reputation as indie buccaneers with fancy-dan pop sensibilities and seen them likened to "the bastard child of the Cure and Belle and Sebastian". Influences run the full gamut of indie-folk-punk-tweemo bedwetters such as the Violent Femmes, Milky Wimpshake, the Lucksmiths and the Delgados, as well as a whole raft of crap boyfriends and more rubbish parties. - Robert Meddes
hey guys was a pleasure to share a stage with you (well the two that were there!) last night! really enjoyed the set and liking the songs on the myspace "indie-folk-punk-tweemo" sounds like the most fun sub-genre ever! hopefully see you again soon!
Hi there - I saw you play for the first time on Tuesday night at The Head of Steam and thought you were fab. Thanks for a great set, I hope to see you again soon.
