The Butchies - make yr life

This was the fourth album from the US lesbian queercore band and at the moment the last album since they began a "hiatus" back in 2005 (which seems like it might be permanent i'd have thought by now). So if this does end up The Butchies' swansong what a way to go.

Its a more commercial (apparently as i haven't got the other 3) album and certainly has plenty of bright punk pop. Actually its got some very good tunes indeed especially "Send me you" which has a chorus to die for and is a bona-fide punk pop classic.

"She's so lovely" also thrashes along nicely, starting off a bit slinky before progressing to a great driving pop song. "Trouble" has some great razor edge power chords driving it along. This is a really great album, it has it all: passion, attitude, energy, rock and pop hooks galore. So what if its a bit commercial, you don't want your ears to bleed all the time do you?
