review from the March MRR:
This is treating my ears right. Crunchy indie rock with girl-group harmonies and pop sensibilities without excessive sheen. The vocals invite comparisons to the GO GOS and BANGLES but you can tell this was born in the garage and not in an LA recording studio.. They're also not really that retro-- Liz Phair could be another touchstone. The first song, "Mine First", is about discovering some new band and thinking they're your little secret, only to lose them to commercial radio popularity and the MTV Nation. I wouldn't be surprised if Vancougar fans are going to suffer the same frustration soon. (Allan McNaughton)
