We haven’t made a band of the week in a long, long time. It’s something reserved for only the best. We hear so many bands, it’s hard to keep up with all of them, but I recently came across an amazing two piece known as Lust-Cats of the Gutters from Denver and they rock! It’s a mixture of riot grrl, garage, and minimalist twee pop like Beat Happening and Vaselines (but heavier). Vivian Girls also come to mind when I hear this band. If you’re a fan of the fun, riot inducing punk slime we regularly champion on this site, then you will most likely enjoy Lust-Cats of the Gutters. If not, then I will have to slap you across the face repeatedly until you get the picture.
