Anita Babyface and The Tastie Ponies – “Self Titled”
Anita Babyface and The Tastie Ponies – “Self Titled” (Dirty Witch Records) Over-produced poppy punk rock with female vocals.

They have that shout/scream thing going on. Sometimes they delve into that post-hardcore Hot Water Music style of [...]

Black America – “We’re Like Trash Talk But Good”
