Sentimental Scum

Charming, irreverent, and unapologetically DIY, newbie band Suzie True's debut album, "Sentimental Scum," is a breath of fresh air in a stale music scene populated by pretentious posers. With their catchy hooks, raw energy, and playful lyrics, this trio of punk rock pixies from Los Angeles has crafted a collection of tracks that will have you bopping along in no time. From the opening track "Rat Kid" to the closing anthem "Carmen," Suzie True delivers a punchy, infectious sound that is equal parts nostalgia and rebellion. Lead singer Lexi's vocals are a delightful mix of sweet and snarly, backed by the tight, no-frills instrumentation of bassist Michi and drummer Eva. Standout tracks like "Crushing Vacuum" and "Idiotic" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy melodies and clever wordplay, while slower cuts like "Bailey" and "Toothache" reveal a vulnerability and depth that adds a new dimension to their brash punk sound. While some may dismiss Suzie True as just another riot grrrl revival act, "Sentimental Scum" proves that this band has a lot more to offer than just a nod to the past. With their infectious energy, witty lyrics, and undeniable talent, Suzie True is a band to watch in 2021 and beyond. Trust me, you'll want to hop on this bandwagon before it's too late.
