The Girls – We Make Love Not Songs CD
If you also write nice catchy pop songs and play them with conviction, you can win the Grand Prix of Drenthe. Great choruses, sharp hooks, tight rhythms and often a great drive are the ingredients of their songs. They are also exactly the reason why these boys were allowed to share the stage with Razorlight and GEM. It is completely unpretentious, and with songs full of teenage language in teenage subjects for teenage girls. You Talk Rubbish, Baby is the best proof of that: love makes your heart burn and you start talking nonsense. Despite the fact that the level on this debut can be called anything but consistent, this quartet does have a few excellent songwriters. The title song is a funny variation on the old peace slogan Make Love Not War. Best Shot, released in 2007, is the hit full of lalalala choruses that The Fratellis can no longer make as a successor to Chelsea Dagger. American Girl (Too Bad You Didn’t Like To Rock ’N Roll) fits seamlessly after Whatever Happened To My Rock ’N Roll on the set list of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
