Product Review

2009 release from the Brooklyn-based all-girl Alt-Rock trio. Everything Goes Wrong is a darker, moodier album than it's predecessor, with a couple tracks clocking in at almost twice the length of anything on their debut. That said, the influences remain the same; Ramones, '60s girl groups, Surf, Indie Pop, etc. This is immediately classic stuff. Over the last year, the Vivian Girls have toured the US and Europe extensively, received a considerable amount of national and international press, sparked fierce debate as to whether they are a refreshing blast of unselfconscious punk rock energy or a crew of contemptible, incompetent posers and, perhaps most significant of all, become the subject of a question on the Jeopardy game show. Everything Goes Wrong 13 tracks.
