Debuting at a time when so many bands are confessing their love for those who came before (Hives = Iggy, Interpol = Joy Division), Shesus runs the risk of being lumped into a crop of Pacific Northwest girl-punk bands spearheaded by Sleater-Kinney. While the band as a whole whips up a vicious, punk-rock fervor like those bands, and vocalist Heather Newkirk has the urgency and classic punk yelp of, say, Kathleen Hanna, Shesus blows the roof off the joint with a dirtier, sweatier, beer-induced, garage-flavored sensibility that perhaps is due to the humidity and musk of Dayton, Ohio. The music is sloppier, more reckless, and echoes with what sounds like old Fender guitars and tube amps dosed in reverb. The snotty see-saw of "Holidazed," the rubbery guitar buzz on "The More You Laugh," and the ‘60s punk inspired "Take It" will get you up off the couch and prepare you for the absolutely rockin’ anthem "B-Side Radio" and the ripping "Here Comes Nothing." These 15 tracks are guaranteed to knock the wind out of you. --Lorry Fleming
