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

Alternative Press (June 2002, p.75) - 8 out of 10 - "...GVSB have returned with...their trademark angular bass and guitar anchorage [that] has been stripped straight down to the bone marrow..."
Magnet (6-7/02, p.89) - "...Song after song hurts in that oh-so-right way..."
CMJ (5/20/02, p.12) - "...Solid evidence that GVSB still have greatness in them..."
NME (Magazine) (4/13/02, p.29) - 6 out of 10 - "...GVSB's often melodic noise...thanks to emo, exists less in weird isolation...and the band seem heading dangerouly close to getting what they deserve."

Recording information: Mission Sound, Brooklyn, New York (2001).

Four years after their disappointing major label debut, 1998's FREAKONICA, Girls Against Boys return with YOU CAN'T FIGHT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE, their first album for the emo stalwart Jade Tree Records and a much more successful marriage of pop sheen and the punky grind of their earliest recordings. FREAKONICA tilted too far into the mainstream and ended up sounding like Garbage with a male singer and less interesting hooks. However, YOU CAN'T FIGHT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE starts from the same Fugazi/Superchunk-oriented guitar rock as the band's earlier albums (especially apparent on "300 Looks for the Summer") but adds a little Jesus and Mary Chain-style (DARKLANDS-era) pop sense to songs like "BFF" and "Miami Skyline." There's also a subtle but effective use of electronics and loops throughout. The best tracks, "Tweaker" and "All the Rage," are simultaneously powerfully noisy and hook-filled and accessible, making YOU CAN'T FIGHT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE one of the most satisfying and enjoyable albums of the band's career.
