Whether they admit it or not, everyone's got a bit of a Heel fetish.
Inspired by the bravado of Joan Jett, the drunken fun of the Replacements, and the sugary melodic hooks of the Buzzcocks, The Heels will pump you up, stab you in the heart with their stilettos, and make you purr like a kitten. You'll be sore as hell the next day, but it's such a good hurt.

'One look at the Heels, with the hair, the fishnets, and the snarl-attitude and you’ve easily got their wave punk number'. Seattle Weekly.

'In a word, [The Heels] rockedmysocks. I strongly suggest you see them if you like loud, punky music avec sass. The stage presence of these women doesn’t so much wash over you as much as wink, kick your ass, and take your wallet.' Northwest Music Blog.
