Dum Dum Girls

Add Date: March 23

Artist: Dum Dum Girls

Album: I Will Be

Label: Sub Pop

Genre: Rock, surf rock, lo-fi

Comments: From the label: "Led by Dee Dee, Dum Dum Girls churn out pop music that adheres to her self-proclaimed M.O.: 'blissed-out buzz saw.' Dee Dee formed DDG in late 2008 as a solo project--the name a nod to both The Vaselines' album, Dum-Dum, and the Iggy Pop song 'Dum Dum Boys' ... When Dee Dee needed a band to take her songs out of the bedroom, she looked to her friends: Jules, a San Diego-based furniture designer; Bambi, a non-profit worker in Austin; and Brooklynite Frankie Rose, a former Vivian Girl and Crystal Stilt, currently starting her own project as well ... I Will Be runs just under 30 minutes with 11 songs; a short tribute to love, loss, fear, fun, and the classic pop form of the '60s girl groups and early punk rockers."

Check out "Bhang Bhang, I'm a Burnout," the title track, and "Yours Alone," featuring the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner on guitar.
