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
2009's been a lot of fun so far! Playing the Slabtown Bender in Portland again was just as excellent as last year, and it was totally cool getting to open for Mudhoney and Pierced Arrows there. We hit the road for a full-on national tour in June and July (9700 miles!) with our friend Kepi Ghoulie. We got to play in big places like NYC, Boston, Chicago, and Austin, and not-so-big, but just-as-awesome places like Oxford, MS! And we had a great time playing Insubordination Fest in Baltimore!
Our big highlights from 2008 were playing the Wild Weekend powerpop festival (The Boys, Pointed Sticks, 20..20, Paul Collins Beat, Nikki Corvette, Gentleman Jesse, Black And Whites, Baby Shakes, etc.) in Austin in August, and the Slabtown Bender festival in Portland in February. Our two-week Southwest tour was a blast, and we got to play with a lot of great bands and make a bunch of new friends. We released the "Misson Boy" single, and were excited by all the good reviews and airplay!
We like KUSF, where both of our singles have charted in the Top 30 most played!
Our "Smash Up The Radio" single is sold out, but you can order the "Mission Boy" single from us below. Record stores might still have copies of "Smash Up The Radio". 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.
