Shoplifting
Kill Rock Stars
2004
Rating: 7 press releases out of 10
Shoplifting, made up of a good chunk of folks from the Chromatics and Soiled Doves, may have put out a short-player, but it packs the wallop of most folks’ full lengths. I dunno exactly how to describe it, but the sound is like the perfect mesh of everything that was great about both the Pacific Northwest and Washington DC in the early 90’s, but it doesn’t sound dated. While I was listening to this I could totally envision this band opening up for Nation of Ulysses or Bikini Kill on some tour back in the day. The whole effort is clangy and messy and punk, but you could totally dance to it, if that’s your bag.
