Sounds Like
Sweet little tunes and smarty-pants lyrics on top of dubious guitar. They say tragedy+time=comedy. Therefore, comedy-time=tragedy. So if you listen to my songs while going back in time, you will get depressed. This is why I was taken off the "Back to the Future" soundtrack.

"Phoebe Kreutz's chanteusey delivery and comic writing were genuinely funny."- THE NEW YORK TIMES "No matter how often her lyrics may shock and offend, she is endearlingly cute and wise." - QUEENS AMONGST IDIOTS (U.K.)
"Musically, her simple song structures are lifted to near-genius level by her clear, bright vocals and vivid personality...as melancholy as they are witty."-SANDMAN (U.K.)
"Witty, bittersweet"-ISTHISMUSIC.COM (U.K.) "Awesome"- LONDONIST (U.K.)
"Kookily cute... Adorably quirky, her voice soars over spiky strumming like a countrified Regina Spektor, using craftily contagious songs to woo the heart of the audience." - SKINNY MAG (U.K.)
"Phoebe Kreutz plays straightforward, acoustic folk rhythms with a huge dose of wacky humor and cleverly written lyrics."- THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE
"Kreutz is a hilarious songstress, demonstrating the broad-base and sense of humor inherent to the genre." - THE DAILY BAROMETER (OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY)
"The Queen of Joke-Folk is Worth Hearing More than Twice. You Just try and Keep a Straight Face. Phoebe should be an MTV star already. In the World of RadioMike, She Already is." - THEFEVEREDBRAINOFRADIOMIKE.COM
"It has been said that Phoebe Kreutz sings like a lovechild of Joan Baez and Weird Al Yankovic. To me, she sounds like a female version of Adam Sandler, only more focused on the quality of her music than that renowned comedian-turned-songwriter. Working well within the Antifolk community, Kreutz also keeps true to her promise to never write about her feelings."- THE STANFORD DAILY

Hugga Broomstik has gone through a lot of changes through the past couple of years, but one thing that will never change is their love for the rock. Not Rock & Roll, but crack rock. www.myspace.com/lehuggacoustique

CURLY HAIR is Jessica and Benjamin. We met whilst making music in another band with four friends. We still play in 'the other band' but we're not allowed to talk about it in front of Curly because she gets jealous(they're in our top friends though...sshhh!).Curly Hair was born when Jessica bought a guitar called Tiny from a second-hand shop in the Lanes in Brighton and I taught her how to play in 12 hours. She's a fast learner. Watch us fly, www.myspace.com/wearecurlyhair

We're about to record a new EP but can't decide which songs to put on it. To avoid any more 'heated debates' we've decided to let the good people of the internet decide.
If you've got a spare few minutes, please head over to http://www.naomihateshumans.com - have a listen to the songs and rate them. We promise to stand by the opinions of the interweb. Even if you are wrong.
