Lydiot's vocals-how she can simultaneously channel great female pop divas of the past like Martha Davis of the Motels, Jill Kossoris of the Shivvers or even Debbie Harry without making it sound rehashed is what makes this stand out ... this is a winner all around.
- DiSCORDER

It seems I've discovered my favorite new band ... a must-have record for anyone who loves powerpop ... a la Josie Cotton circa Convertible Music ... Both songs are fantastic
- Now Wave

There's that something going on here that would've had Rodney on the Roq playing this on the radio for weeks on end back in his early 80's heyday
- Smashin' Transistors

This is pop music at its finest ... pure of heart, getting stuck in your brain ... a refreshing alternative to the crowded and muddled music of the current American underground ... A definite must
- Seven Ten Twelve

you can't deny that this one is a hit ... Nikki Corvette-y ... All you neo-power-popsters out there should dig this
- Terminal Boredom

either tune here conceivably being a minor hit back when power pop wasn't retro
- Razorcake

sounding a LOT like vintage Blondie ... This is the kind of song that you find yourself singing on the way to the train ... Awesomely catchy
- Lucid Culture

you're attracted to the sheer fun of this power punk pop but there's something dangerous there of course, lurking under the surface
- Seven Inches

This is absolutely pure power pop goodness, complete with sticky sweet female vocals. This is what heaven is like, I am sure of it.
- Maximum Rock N Roll

Anyone who spends their days celebrating Blondie and their nights mourning the decline of Joan Jett, take heart
- Statesman Journal (Salem, OR)

taut songs cracking and humming like a very live wire, with sparks flying everywhere. Their frontwoman Lydiot isn't doing Joan Jett or Debbie Harry or anyone for that matter—she's doing Lydiot, plain and simple.
- Portland Mercury

The Pleasure Kills won my Best of Show tonight ... rollicking hi-energy powerpop stick-in-your-head melodies & fun fun fun performance of the style that few bands play anymore
- Wig Wam Bam

Like Blondie, The Go-Go's and Joan Jett ... The Pleasure Kills deliver a pop-perfect combination of bubblegum hooks and punk grit
- Oklahoma Gazette

2008 was a fun year! We had a great time playing the Slabtown Bender festival in Portland in February, and the Wild Weekend powerpop festival in Austin in August. Our two-week tour was a blast, and we got to play with a lot of awesome bands. We released the "Misson Boy" single, and were excited by all the good reviews and airplay!

2009's already gotten off to a great start! Playing the Slabtown Bender again was just as much fun as last year, and it was totally cool getting to open for Mudhoney and Pierced Arrows there. And playing with The Avengers in Oakland was a real thrill for us!

We like KUSF, where both of our singles have charted in the Top 30 most played!

You can order our records from us below, or find them at finer record stores. We particularly like Goner Records. And we seem to have some fans in Japan! Both Dream On Records and Record Shop BASE are stocking our records.

We're very pleased to be distributed by Revolver. Stores can both of our singles from them.




Mission Boy/Pictures On The Floor single (with free digital download coupon!)

$6.00 (Includes shipping within the continental USA)





Smash Up The Radio/Over And Over single

$6.00 (Includes shipping within the continental USA)



Both singles with combined shipping!

$10.50 (Includes shipping within the continental USA)
