Unwed Teenage Mothers, The – “Blonde Girls” – [Play Pinball Records]

Dianthus   1/11/2012   12-inch, A Library

Pinball Records has been releasing music from some really cool bands lately and The Unwed Teenage Mothers out of Oxford, Mississippi are just one of those bands. This tasty little musical taco is filled with spicy, meaty little scuzzed – out garage filled rock and roll. Also, there is a swinging attraction to the vocals that contain little punk rock flares, do-wop and a catchiness that cause you to want to listen to the short tracks over and over again. “Uh- oh” is one of my favorite tracks with driving guitar and rib-tickling keys. “Wait” makes me want to puke from too much lyrical cuteness, but I still have to listen because the sixties-vibed, pop-surfiness gets my head swinging every time. Featuring members of Bass Drum of Death, Preacher’s Kid and Lover!, The Unwed Teenage Mothers will charm their way into you heart. Flip the record over to listen to the tracks again as all the same tracks are on both sides of this vinyl pancake.
