Hatepinks
Tete Malade/Sick In The Head EP
TKO Records

Not being that in tune with the French music scene, I can’t say whether or not the Hatepinks are different from the norm there or not. I can say that there haven’t been too many French garage/77ish bands that have grabbed my attention in quite a while. Their latest, the "Tete Malade/Sick In The Head" EP is seven tracks long and over in under ten minutes. Fast, skittering guitars and snotty vocals abound on such songs as "Should I Kill Myself Or Go Jogging?" and "My City is Sick of Pizza". They’re not reinventing the wheel, just playing the kind of rock that makes you want to pogo. Good stuff.
