Well I’m going to need something to relax after the debates got my stress level up. Luckily the Ettes are here to make all those non-catchy thoughts go away…

MP3: The Ettes – I Heard Tell
The Ettes seem to be a really nice blend of distorted garage rock and catchy pop. I won’t be sexist by suggesting that the guy in the band is responsible for the rock — mostly because that side of it reminds me of something Sleater-Kinney would have been thrilled to have churned out early in their career. Granted, this is a little more simple that SK, but that’s where the pop steps up to the plate. It’s simple and straightforward, but not without a brain and a bit of fun.
