She's Insane till a grungy turf on their self titled debut, but this Christchurch group's great asset is the melodic vocal front-line of Maria Due and harmonising drummer Tasha French. Due has a great trashy pop voice, evocative of 60's girl groups such as the Shangri-Las, and her band has the cut to the chase immediacy of early Ramones. The last 40 years of pop culture is up for grabs in these songs; Elvis and Teletubbies are both name checked. With a demographic so wide, surely these bubble-grungers can't miss.
