Best New Music: Dum Dum Girls

I always root for girls in music. I can't help it! In a world SO dominated by boys and their stupid skinny jeans and fedoras...girls are a nice change of pace. ESPECIALLY when they're actually doing something other than playing tambourine/ singing back-up. (Speaking of which: why does every indie band these days feel the need to accessorize with a tambourining hipster chick?) I mean, fuck it, girls can rock too, and that's why I'm glad I found the Dum Dum Girls, a West Coast foursome whose blissed out melodies have earned them a place in a long line of righteous female rockers, from the Shangri-Las and Shirelles to the Breeders, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Vivian Girls, and more.

DDG. Do not mess!

From fuzzy beach rockers to psych-tinged girl pop (with names like "Bhang Bhang I'm a burnout"), this feisty foursome will rock your world...and still look better than you in a vintage dress. And I'm ok with that, because their music is totally sweet! Power to you, girls!

Here is a b-side for your musical enjoyment.
