"WHY THE HELL ISN'T THIS BAND SIGNED?"
PUNKNET

BIONIC FINGER
Demo

Somehow this all-girl quartet from New York City has managed to compress "I've Got a Big Dick" "I've got my boots on and I know how to use them" "I want to know do you swallow?" and many other lyrical gems in this catchy punky song, complete with harmonized background vocals. Everyone in the band sings, and what impressed me most was when I saw them live, they constantly trade instruments-something I haven't seen since Bikini Kill. The tape slows down a bit after the first song, aptly titled "Big Dick" for a slow "Texas" followed by "Cheryl" which picks up the pace slightly, only to drag on a little too long. "So High" is the last song, and much better, faster, and something you might catch yourself singing on the Vegas strip. Comparisons to Heavens to Betsy would be close, but it's hard to categorize a band with so many different songwriting styles. Hopefully they'll realize creative songs like "Big Dick" is a better direction than done-too-much ballads. All in all, a fun demo, but it doesn't do justice to their live shows.
