More Info:
The first thing that strikes you is the rhythm. The Gossip have been making punks dance since they debuted five years ago, long before dance punk existed. Soulful and jagged, you can hear everything from Dischord to Motown. The vocals resonate with the confident of the lyrics, asking people to hold on just a little bit longer reassuring youth that their are others out there and spitting in the face of all who say otherwise. Their album was recorded by Guy Picciotto (Fugazi). This is the sound of a band destroying and surpassing all expectations placed on them.Reviews:
Soul kitten frontlady Beth Ditto had to contend with some nasty gallbladder business before polishing off her trio's latest dance party on wax. The compu-cowbell and ghostly vocals driving "Listen Up" conjure a more refined Rapture. These Arkansas transplants' big breakthrough is long overdue.
