"Aluminum Babe stand with one spiked heel in the land of euro chic and the other in the cigarette smoke and lager stained world of rock n roll... their debut album Vitrified, released on Reading?s excellent Velocity Recordings label, is a mixed bag of sassy, edgy tricks."
Becky Stefani

What does Dance music, The Sex Pistols and Swedish kids songs have in common? Ask the "babe" in aluminum babe, Anna , who drew her musical inspiration from these elements in her home town environment in Stockholm, Sweden. Her band is bi-continental, and is making its mark on New York City and England with its aggressive punk rock that's buttered up with coy pop edges. Simple, direct and passionate, aluminum babe's songs and no-bullshit spirit breathe life into the Dance- Punk rock genre like it hasn't seen since the original days of the Ramones and early Blondie. Declares the New York Press, "Finally someone combines bubble pop hooks with raw punk power without sounding like anyone else". aluminum babe was born in 2001 in New York City when the captivating Swedish punk singer Anna found magnetic musical synergy with bassist Jorge. The band recorded their debut EP "aluminum babe" at Mother West Studios in NYC in the summer of 2002. Their self-titled EP contains a rich repertoire of catchy gems such as "Oh Yeah", "Billy" and" Y u so mean", which spin universals of romance and loneliness flat on their faces, smiling with irony all the while.

"Take the Cardigans, rub off their shiny surface and stick them in a filthy underground club and you may get an approximation of Aluminum Babe. But they elude simple comparison. They yank the bittersweet guitar song violently into funky disco terrain and then gently lick it with a creamy female falsetto - as heard in this selection of spiky and extremely original songs.

But this band are not merely austere pop fodder, and there's much more to them than your average Franz Ferdinand name-check. Aluminum Babe not only bop to disco while rocking to guitars, but they wield a sensual, subtle electronic undercurrent that could be found in some of the most obscure avant-adnce corners. The moody acoustic pulse of 'Dream Dancing' squeezes in among altogether more raucous, driving dance-punk energies, making for a fascinating sonic journey that is highly recommended."

Aluminum Babe have a lot going for them on this album. Led by the one-name singer and guitarist Anna, who comes off sounding like Bjork in love with the Cranberries or Controller.Controller, the group nail the dance-fuelled, disco-tinted leadoff song "I Don't Wanna Be Loved." The song works in large part to Anna?s excellent lilt and slight accent, but it also shines thanks to the tight, winding rhythm section of bassist Jorge Musa and the hi-hat frenzy from drummer Darren Fried. Think of an early Pulp song and you get the gist of this new look at retro-new wave pop. This well-crafted niche is explored on the French-sung "Upside Down" with its great bass line and groove that attacks one's hips or head, causing either or both to swing immediately as Anna sings about having to stop your emotions in English later on, ? la early Blondie. There are several quality songs that bring to mind the Concretes or Feist, particularly during the bouncy, frantic, and criminally infectious "Little Girl" that is short but terribly sweet. However, even this nugget pales compared to the stellar "Not 2 Easy 2 Forget" which, well, isn't easy to forget at all. Starting slow ? la the Cure before picking up a heap of "grrl" punk steam, the song resembles something Shout Out Louds might consider churning out. The band gives a grittier performance on the minimal, mid-tempo but catchy What Is What that relies on the vocals and a simple guitar riff to carry the tune. This tone continues, showing a different shade of the band on the sparse, tension-builder Dream Dancing that sounds like it came out of the late disco era. After a folksy-meets-Celtic attempt during Baby Bitch, the new wave, art pop flavor returns on "Standing and Waving Goodbye." A true surprise is the garage rock feel of the Strokes heard throughout Disease Contagous but the rowdy, punk cover of Plastique Bertrand's Ca Plane Pour Moi manages to even top it. http://www.music.com/
