The Turn-Offs are from outer space. They
are Rosie Bottom, Sherry Sacks, Stacy Spazz Atack and Dreiky Caprice. They are
really good live. They have been known to make uptight scenesters & hardcore
kids start dancing against their own free will. They will make you shake. Are
you ready?
Their 12" features 4
amazing songs:
New Romance
Dance Hit

Faster Disaster
Here are some reviews of the
12":
The Turn-Offs 12" (Paroxysm)
This is a record that has the potential to really rock your world. Everyone who hears it
doesn't just like it but LOVES it. Post-riot-style guitars and aggression meets
synth-heavy arrangements and infectious, dancey rhythms and some of the strongest, most
assertive vocals heard since Sleater-Kinney. In fact, take the Olympia three-piece and
switch some of their angsty pathos for catchy hook-heavy grooves and you might have a
slight idea what to expect, but it must be heard to be truly appreciated. (A) from the UNDERPOP zine
The best thing to come out since the
Golden Starlet LP (which is coincidentally on the same label). This 12" is pure
genius. Dreiky's voice is overpowering and makes other singers (ahem, Kathleen Hanna) seem
like they are choking on a turd. These songs are bound to become power electro-punk
classics. So, if you like bands like Le Tigre, The Bangs, Julie Ruin, or The Butchies I
suggest you don't listen to the Turn-offs cos you are not worthy of them! Turn-offs are
the best thing to come out since Justin Timberlake (who is a cutie, might i add!). We can
only hope that paroxysm can top this album or the label is washed out, but I heard that a
triflin' hos record might come out (hint hint) so that might be it. In the meantime, don't
hold yer breath and listen to the Turn-Offs and prepare yourself to be amazed. Be ready to
dance!
