Hello!
For sale: SEALED copy of Dead Girls Ruin Everything - What A Perfect Ending on CD.
The Dead Girls (formerly Dead Girls Ruin Everything) is the white-hot super group formed from the molten ashes of Ultimate Fakebook and Podstar, two defunct bands that were staples of the Lawrence and Kansas City power-pop sound. Guitarists/singers JoJo Longbottom and Cameron Hawk, of Podstar, combine their dual-guitar driven attack and blissful vocal harmonies with the precise rhythmic assault of drummer Eric Melin and bassist Nick Colby, of Ultimate Fakebook, creating a raw and infectious rock sound with as much of an emphasis on melody as there is on rip-roaring guitar licks.
Review from punknews.org:
"Dead Girls Ruin is a result of the 2 former Kansas power-pop bands Ultimate Fakebook (delivering the rhythm section) and Podstar (responsible for the vocal harmonies and dual guitars). This resulted in these 12 infectious rock songs that are not as punk as I might want them to be, but I can't deny that they managed to create a very melodic album that still has enough energy to make me like this quite a bit.
my guess is that people who like bands like the Break, Social Distortion and even Jawbreaker will dig this as well. What a Perfect Ending definitely has more of an American rock feel to it, but is definitely a good buy for anyone who likes well-crafted and honest pop-rock music. It has a few magnificent moments in "Hot Blonde," "Never Too Late" and "Dropped Catch." There's quite a few songs that you'd think would fall in the category of being too sleazy, when all of a sudden a good hook or guitar lick is thrown in. Personally, I would have loved it even more if these hooks were there more abundant maybe. Finally, the fact that Stephen Egerton and Jason Livermore of Descendents/ALL had a hand in the production/mastering of this album can't be a coincidence."
