"The Girls charm with skuzzy riffs, fluxing synths, and anthem-filling sing-alongs.

"Quirky, new-wave Seattleites the Girls kick off their exciting second EP, Yes No Yes No Yes No, with two raucous electro-punk dancefests, [and] adding to the band's appeal are Shannon Brown's distinctive vocals and the smartly worded, occasionally oddball lyrics." .. Janelle Jones, Alternative Press Magazine .. "The album sometimes sounds like it came roaring out of the 1980s, but it also exudes a hipster, too cool for the room attitude [and] there's nothing more appealing and alienating than that kind of detached confidence.".. Amy Sciarretto, Outburn Magazine .. "Simultaneously adorable and supremely agitating, the Girls bring a show that's perfect for the young hyperactive ex-punker with plenty of Ritalin to burn.".. The Santa Cruz Sentinel .. Seattle's The Girls deliver a well-defined set of quirky fun filled hooks ala The Voidoids or glam-era Bowie. They play a clean, echoed and edgy punk that has been handed down from hipster groups like Devo and the Cars, and put into the capable hands of The Girls who have taken that proverbial crown, dented it up and tossed it at the hopeful next generation of up and comers that look to them for inspirational cacophony. .. John Pfeiffer, The New Jersey Aquarian .. "If you're in the mood for minimalist, yelpy, alienated-sounding punk, instead of trying out the new Wire record, maybe give the Girls a spin.".. Miles Raymer, The Chicago Reader .. "The Girls are a few steps ahead of their peers in that they manage to conjure an approximation of the intelligence and sense of style of the late-'70s/early-'80s bands they clearly love along with their sound.".. Mark Deming, AllMusic .. "Wrapping up the sort of sing-along melodies that trace their roots back to Buzzcocks with a love of synthy new wave acts like Devo and early Depeche Mode, The Girls know a thing or two about writing a good pop tune. With a habit of wrapping those melodies up in wild guitars, ragged production and unhinged performances, The Girls know a thing or two about upholding punk's confrontational sound.".. Matt Schild, Aversion .. "Transfer Station may share its name with the buildings where garbage collectors deposit their garbage, but compared to many of the bands rummaging through similar dumpsters, it's reasonably hot garbage".. Marc Hogan, Pitchfork Media .. "Early-Cars meets Richard Hell and The Voidoids synthed-up garage punk that any fan of The Briefs, The Spits, or The Lost Sounds (R.I.P.) would gravitate to.".. Reid Sheldon, OC Weekly .. "Take the awkward new wave of the Cars, add in the confident punk of the Buzzcocks, and then cross them with modern art rock of the Liars. It's like a mighty, sonic slap on the face, saying "Wake up! Let's go make some noise!"".. Lee, Three Imaginary Girls .. "Super retro sounding new wavy pop-punk with irresistable melodies & a riff that drills a big big hole in your head!".. Soundflat, Germany .. "This is no fishnet-hawking electroclash fashionista rock; besides having more sexxx appeal than both Coreys combined, The Girls've got chops like Ralph Macchio.".. Brian Howe, Pitchfork Media

    ULTRAGORE #008: HELICOPTER SHOWDOWN—THE WRESTLER EP

    The San Francisco Bay has been traditionally known as a hotbed of underground sounds by those
    fortunate enough to know where to look. For a time, the East Bay hyphy movement had kids
    from Santa Rosa to Salinas ghost ridin’ the whip, and for years the underground warehouses
    and speak-easys of The City have been owned by the warm thump of quality house music.
    More recently though, dubstep has been creating a foothold on the Golden Gate, with a slew of
    emerging artists carving out a space in the underground music scene both locally and nationally.

    New kid on the block to SFO bass music, Helicopter Showdown is set to take the dubstep world
    by storm with their blistering production style and heavy sound. Comprised of area producers
    Blake Powers, Joshua Small, Devan Day, Ryan Wade, the foursome has their eyes set on bass
    music domination with their tracks getting support from BARE, Mark Instinct, Vaski, JOGO,
    Liquid Stranger, and Point.blank.

    On their debut EP, The Wrestler, the foursome releases their night terrors inducing sound on the
    world with a fearsome five-pack not for the faint of heart.

    On the title track, The Showdown joins Sluggo for a big slice of epic rave tear-out, sure to keep
    heads high and hands up. With Life On The Edge, HS takes things up a notch with a plodding
    stepper heavy on the murder bass low end.

    Digital blood-lust takes center stage on The Terror, as a slew of arpeggiated wind-ups and
    slow-downs keep ‘em guessing. Belgian duo Point.blank take remix duties on The Terror
    (Point.blank Remix) with murderous results, and to round out the EP, HS throws an audio curve
    ball on Push Forward. Blending serene ambience and a squelching low end, they create what is
    easily the most diverse track on the EP.

    Heavy on bass with a style all their own, Helicopter Showdown show and prove with The
    Wrestler EP.
