The band name acts as a very strong description of the type of music the All Girl Summer Fun Band makes. The strong harmonies, wistful music and catchy songs reverberate with echoes of the Beach Boys, Cub and the Breeders. It is fun simple music in the same way that the Ramones are which is just what the doctor ordered with the cold, wet winter seeming to go on forever.
The songs focus on relationships, the lyrics are funny without being wacky and they don't hang around for long which makes it so good. It is twee and very sweet so it is probably best listened to in small doses. This self-titled cd is their first and was released on K records.
Like all great bands they have a 'theme song' which spells out their mission statement. I enjoyed 'Canadian Boyfriend', 'Brooklyn Phone Call' and 'new in town' but they are all decent songs.
