MP3: Pretty Whores of Manhattan - I hate the disco
File this one under 'trying too hard', as if it wasn't already self-evident from the name Pretty Whores of Manhattan. Still, it's hard to really find fault with these kids even if their brand of punk-rock is more fashion than passion, after all, they are just out of high school. They've got the chops, but the attitude is overblown and stunted by misogyny. Way more Hardcore Superstar than actual hardcore, y'know? Which is not to say their frustration and anger isn't real, it just comes off as misdirected and contrived. Focus, people! Work it out!
