glasgow's golden grrrls are eilidh rodgers, ruari maclean and rachel aggs. what began as bedroom guitar experimentation soon bloomed into a fully-formed pop language inspired by the 80s new zealand and australian indie pop scenes, diy punk and glasgow's own rich pop history (think the vaselines, the pastels). drummer eilidh rodgers' inventive, loose-cannon drumming and lead vocals have framed maclean's baritone from the beginning, with newest member rachel aggs (also of trash kit) bringing an effortless melodic sensibility on guitar and backing vocals. for "golden grrrls" the band has written eleven perfect songs about life's realities dressed in three-part harmonies, heart-tugging changes and a playing style derived from punk and classic crash-pop enthusiasm. each chord, beat and vocal line is perfectly placed, essential and simply has to exist as it is in its moment in time. with all three members singing throughout, the harmonies and guitar lines interweaving, there's a warmth in every song that adds to the poignant punch of the album as a whole. opener 'new pop' is a blast of breakneck spiked power pop while "think of the ways" is a sweetly melancholic song that plays maclean and rodgers' vocals against each other. "take your time" and "date it" are a punked-up indie pop gems, while album closer "we've got" is the catchiest 'anthem' you'll hear from a band that would be repulsed at the idea of writing anthems.
