thisgirl: Three Minute Spanish Film

by Robert Luckett
So when do you become tired of it?? All this garage punk emo nonsense that's exciting the hairs on our neck at the mo, keeps chucking out spine tingling bands into out sheltered little 'alternative' worlds. I really should despise this record, it sounds like every other decent guitar record you’ve heard this year. But I don't.

thisGirl (love that wacky spelling!!) have been around for a few years, and finally have delivered a record that's worthy of the minor hype that was surrounding them. "Three Minute Spanish Film" is fantastic, all deliciously moshable hard-core, emo tarnished punk-metal with amazingly fucked-up beats and frantic vocals.

Of course, it sounds like 100 Reasons jamming with early Jimmy Eat World whilst wanking over Fugazi. But who can begrudge them these impeccable influences??

How long I'll love this record, I don't know. A song of the moment, if not for all time.

this GIRL - Three Minute Spanish Film

I really don't get the whole sounding like every other decent guitar record this year, but there you go
Anyway, if it sounds like 'decent' records then why should you feel the need to dislike it? Eh, I'm confused

Re: this GIRL - Three Minute Spanish Film

I tend not to give records I dislike 4 stars. Hmm.
