Okay forget everything you've been fed over the last year or so about the return of electro and synths and girls with their machines and disco voices clogging up the pop charts because Dum Dum Girls are leading the migration well away from that kind of thing. Completely.
They're the bad influence your momma done told you about and if you ain't careful they're gonna land you in a whole heap o'trouble.
Kicking back the years to revel in 60's soaked fuzz beats and menacing bubblegum pop Dum Dum Girls lift off where girl groups like The Shangri-Las gave up the ghost.
Soundtracking their own Beyond the Valley of the Dolls-style movie with a rip roaring Runaways vibe they blister through a host of luridly familiar sounding and maddening catchy songs 'Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout', 'Jail La La', 'I Will Be' and 'Everybody's Out' and despite the retro feel this is definitely going to be the music of the very near future.
Hey, that sulky chick from the Twilight flicks is playing Joan Jett (you know from The Runaways) in a movie real soon and that kind of thing is just gonna make girls step away from their keyboards, strap on a geetar and rock like lady-bastards, whilst singing about boys, booze and bad behaviour!
Mark my words.
