This set of short, poppy and punky songs has instant appeal. The three women of Cub have found a formula that suits them: sweetly harmonized vocals, guitars that jangle and roar, and hummable melodies all set to a fast beat. Although they occasionally veer into the realm of snarled vocals and noise for its own sake, they sound more comfortable singing about boyfriends (past and future) and family. They may not be deep, but they get under your skin. An aside: beware the creaking chair sound that closes out the album, it keeps on going. – Peter Stepek
