 Vital Source: View Story: All Girl Summer Fun Band: 2
For a time I thought it unfortunate for the girls of All Girl Summer Fun Band that I remembered their 2002 self-titled release mostly for its lukewarm reception by many critics.
It wasn't long before I moved on to other bands who I thought were doing something more interesting and meaningful, whose music had more depth than the giggly, bubblegum punk that AGSFB were turning out.
As we all know, the novelty of a band and the catchiness of its music is a fleeting thing, and audiences are notoriously fickle when that's all there is to hang on to.

 All Girl Summer Fun Band: 2: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
All Girl Summer Fun Band's second outing is the kind of thing most critics-- read: grouches with slouches-- love to sink our coffee-stained fangs into.
Topics span from marrying boys to dancing with boys to stealing boys from other girls, the vocals are chipper than chip, and the music is the sort that provokes wanton tired comparisons to sugary foods.
Perhaps I'm suffering from pseudo-liberal oversensitivity, but it's a bit worrisome that an all-girl summer fun band would necessarily have to sound like a quartet of 12 year-olds in the subject matter of their music.

 Splendid Magazine reviews All Girl Summer Fun Band: 2
All Girl Summer Fun Band sound like The Shirelles might have, if they'd been born a few decades later into the Portland indie-pop scene.
Though the band has a very distinctive core sound, they're not unversatile, nor are they always perky; "Daydreaming" offers a short trip into a more contemplative place, with a gently chugging bassline and abstract guitar noise under quiet singing.
Having fun might be one of the most important things about playing music, but as AGSFB demonstrate, having talent as well makes it twice as enjoyable.

The All Girl Summer Fun Band are based in Portland.
Their most recent self-titled CD, out on K records is a fun, poppy number in the vein of 60’s girl pop, but with an edge.

 All Girl Summer Fun Band: All Girl Summer Fun Band: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The fortunate girl could get the entire set-up (all the band members, the stage, the backdrop, etc.), play the tape, and live out rock and roll fantasies.
Their music pushes the outside parameters of twee, and ushers the listener into a fantastic world where all the girls giggle and blush at attention, wear polka-dot bikinis and sparkly barrettes, and never kiss and tell.
I'm 99% sure the members of the Summer Fun Band are cognizant of the image they're sending out, and I'm positive they expect the listener to enjoy the implicit ironies and delight in the retro-pop sensibilities while imagining the simpler, pre-Riot Grrl days.

 All Girl Summer Fun Band: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
All Girl Summer Fun Band is too cute for its own good with its bright, girly vocals and giddy retro-pop, but you'll love the band anyway.
Still, All Girl Summer Fun Band would be an amusing but inane group if they didn't have the talent to back it up.
All Girl Summer Fun Band summarizes itself in its "Theme Song" -- "They're nothing big, but they're nothing small" and "When you hear their songs, you want to hear them again." You really can't argue with that.

 All Girl Summer Fun Band: Summer of '98 EP - PopMatters Music Review
Whereas some band's back catalogue's shed light on the evolution of their sound or perhaps help us rediscover a treasure unfairly lost in the perpetual band flood, this re-issue only serves to undermine AGSFB's current efforts.
The album's cover art portrays the band members as cartoons, in varying forms of hipster catholic reformatory school girl dress, barrettes strategically placed for maximum junior highing.
All Girl Summer Fun Band have done a lot better than this, matured their sound, and written quite a few happy little nugs that don't cave in your cheekbones from saccharine excess.

 Metroactive Music | The All Girl Summer Fun Band
All have played or still play with other bands, but this project was strictly for fun.
The music is exuberant and fun, causing critics to invoke their favorite childhood toys and candy, and sometimes to invoke the dreaded t-word, to Sbragia's chagrin.
To counter the critical emphasis on cuteness, all four girls used distortion pedals to roughen up their sound a bit, which gives the swoony lyrics a little hormonal boost.

 All Girl Summer Fun Band - 2 (K)
The gorgeous harmonies and somnambulist sway on the melancholic, downbeat "Daydreaming" transcends the cupie-doll genre and the synth swash on "Video Game Heart" is the perfect touch for this tale of love and jealousy, as is the vibratoed surf-guitar opening to "Parallel Park," a location, not a driving maneuver.
It's all presented with a high energy, teeny-boppers-on-estrogen-poppers flair that begs to be screaming from convertibles everywhere this summer.
This summer's soundtrack to your lives has arrived.

There’s no doubting the chops of Holland and his big band, but the songs and vocal efforts are a mixed bag of goods.
A band having dual guitarists is one thing, but a death metal band with dual vocalists is a bit out of the ordinary, especially when one sings in a pretty typical death metal style and the other is pure hard rock.

Initially, Simmons comes on mock-tough, causing one girl to scream, but he proves to be disarmingly nice with a friendly, supportive classroom demeanor.
He then gets down to business and begins auditioning kids for the lead singer of a band he wants to form, which will open for Motorhead at the end of the show.
But Josh has plenty of rock attitude, and when he hams it up for the video camera while singing along to a rock song, he has the same sweet geeky innocence as the "Star Wars Kid," the Internet sensation who was caught on camera swinging his broom handle like a light saber.
