Girls Against Boys Artist Snapshot:

Girls Against Boys is often credited with being the band that made hardcore sexy. With a pedigree deep in Washington, D.C.'s legendary punk scene, the band's members migrated to New York City and gave the music on which they were raised a decidedly swanky twist. Though GVSB's music is certainly loud, aggressive, and muscular, it's also infused with touches of electronica and a moody almost noirish tone that give it a distinct identity amidst a sea of loud, angry indie-rock bands. GVSB jumped from indie labels to major labels and back again during its heyday, and as of 2007, the band continued to tour and record.

Review

Magnet (p.106) - "GVSB's sophomore disc plugs the group's fast-and-louche style into a set of songs finally worthy of their creepy charisma."
Melody Maker (9/11/93, p.30) - "...VENUS LUXURE comes whistling through the air at you in a slo-mo bloodthirsty blur and proceeds to pound your cranium into sawdust..."
NME (Magazine) (10/9/93, p.39) - 6 - Good - "...the musical moods [on VENUS LUXURE NO. 1 BABY] are almost universally dark, although sly lyrical humor saves shuddering doomfests like `Learned It' from premature burial..."

Title Note

Girls Against Boys: Scott McCloud (guitar, vocals); Eli Janney (samples, vocals, bass); Johnny Temple (bass); Alex Fleisig (drums).

Recorded at Oz Studios, Baltimore, Maryland in February 1993.

When Washington, D.C.'s SoulSide closed up shop, three-fifths of the band mutated into a darker, sexier beast as Girls Against Boys. Their second album, 1993's VENUS LUXURE NO. 1, introduced many to their unique sound. Though still powered by the might of rhythmic post-hardcore, their songs glistened like a lounge lizard's hair cream with the swagger of a pickup artist. Singer Scott McCloud's gritty voice imparts seductions and threats while the pummeling dual bass crawls along like fingers slowly drifting down a silk stocking. "Satin Down" lurches through dark alleys with death-march drums and a droning guitar building in subtle menace, while the fuzzy "Let Me Come Back" throws its weight around like a train full of hobos. Through it all, however, VENUS LUXURE manages to be attractive and heroic despite all the lurid trappings.
