THIS...

"1 of the 5 Top Up-and-Coming Seattle Bands" (ranked number 2)
SPIN

"Raise a pint to Flogging Molly for tapping Seattle's stylish punkers the Girls as openers on a slew of West Coast dates. No longer the fresh faces of the Dirtnap roster, the Girls have streamlined their hook-heavy, synth-heavier sound over the past few years, a fact that is quickly evident on their most recent release, Yes No Yes No Yes No."
Portland Mercury

"The Girls charm with skuzzy riffs, fluxing synths, and anthem-filling sing-alongs. If you like the Dirtnap sound, brash and catchy (Exploding Hearts, the Epoxies), the Girls are the latest torch bearers."
William Goodman, Spin.com

"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

"For The Girls, the bond between music and identity is equally as important. The Seattle band expand punk signifiers and end up sounding as slick as they look."
Joseph Coombe, Lost At Sea

“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

"This album is so psychotically twitchy and so simplistically catchy that it just over runs you with punky pop perfection one song right after another. It's genius in it's approach and The Girls uncomplicated nature frees them up to write songs that are simply irresistible."
Paul Zimmerman, FirstCoastNews

"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

"Their best songs have all the catchiness of classic Cars tracks mixed with the blown-out punk pomp of the New York Dolls and the Voidoids."
Jennifer Maerz, The Stranger

"While other bands stop at lifting riffs, the Girls crack open that decadent late-'70s rock ethos and chow down on its guts.... They make a great soundtrack to drinking champagne and taking painkillers in a rented limo, then barfing them all over the backseat."
Chris Ziegler, Seattle Weekly

"...High energy and tight pants. Short, catchy vocals. Abrupt finishes and smooth transitions, so much so there was hardly time to breathe between songs."
Jena Vuylsteke, Performer Magazine

"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

"The Girls are one of our most entertaining exports, owners of absurdly fun, energetic hooks that owe plenty to the Cars and a ton of late-'70s glam-pop outfits."
Michael Alan Goldberg, The Stranger

"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
