Get Over It!

iTunes Review

This Brooklyn-based female power-trio got their start in 2005 while still in the midst of fifth grade, but their 2009 sophomore album bubbles, pops, kicks and screams with an honest adolescent angst and humor that just can’t be faked by anyone over 20 years old. Get Over It ignites with “Pleaser,” a punky new-wave number that would make The Runaways proud with its heavy guitar hooks, contagious melodies, and an unapologetically catty slam-book narrative about an annoying social-climbing classmate. “Super Teen” similarly scratches at mean and materialistic mall girls with razor sharp claws and old-school punk ferocity in the musicianship, while standout track “Everybody Else” could convince Joan Jett that she somehow has a long lost daughter in guitarist/singer Sophie whose six string prowess unleashes panther sized riffs under snarling tough-chick lyrics. They even give feminism a sidesplitting edge in “Barbie Eat A Sandwich.” Once you get over the novelty that these honestly enjoyable songs were written and recorded by eighth graders, you can't help starting to look forward to their future.
