	Splendid Magazine reviews Logan Bros.: Cuddlecore Galore
		The problem is, it may be too much of a great record; its 28 songs (two of them unlisted) push it to the 73-plus minute mark, making Cuddlecore Galore an exhausting experience.
		Listen closely and you'll also catch nods to the futuristic pop of the late seventies, when preconceptions of gender roles in rock music were superseded by a refreshingly democratic, non-exploitative, non-patriarchal stance.
		Cuddlecore Galore is not an opportunistic assault on the past by people who have nothing to say to the present; it's a careful, post-modern homage to the cultural roots the Bros. claim as their own.

	WMWC Forum / Genre names that make you wince, or worse
		It took me a few minutes to overcome the urge to vomit after reading that, and then I assumed it was just something the band made up to describe themselves; but a quick google search said otherwise.
		"Cuddlecore bands focused on childhood fascinations like fluffy animals, nature, candy, and the kind of love that doesn't go wrong."
		Yeah from what I gather, "twee" and "cuddlecore" are closely related.

	San Francisco - News - Elemental Pee - sfweekly.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Partial fault lies with Pee's label, March Records in Chicago, home of typical cuddlecore bands like Godzuki and Holiday, which proudly popularized the term two years ago, long before Pee was on its roster.
		The term was partly a joke, partly a marketing ploy designed to call attention to the testosterone deficiency of certain bands.
		Still, sometimes even irritating record-store scribes who write minireviews of labels rather than records manage to squeeze a drop of truth from their Sharpies.

		People either ate up their cuddlecore shtick or were repulsed by the very same antics.
		With the release of Box of Hair, cub's third full length album, the band seems to be consciously trying to abandon their patented cuteness, perhaps so that they can end this love `em/hate `em phenomenon that plagues them.
		Cub followers will find these songs out of character for their cuddlecore heroines, and fans of punk rock will probably only find them mediocre and unimaginative.

	LMX American Jitters Reviews
		If her former life as the queen of cuddlecore taught Lisa Marr anything, it’s that there’s no joy in being pigeonholed.
		“The whole cuddlecore thing started as a tongue-in-cheek joke, but it became a rock that was attached to our leg, dragging us into the river,” says Marr from her adopted home in Los Angeles.
		The one-time queen of cuddlecore is in no danger of being pigeonholed.

	Welcome to Curve of the Earth Records
		And so are Verago-go, though at heart they're more of a pop group than either of the above.
		Their favored sound is a cuddlecore style that conjures good memories of Tsunami and early Scrawl.
		But their debut CD, Flight 45 (Curve of the Earth), doesn't stay in one place for long.

		Aber damals lautete er noch "Cuddlecore Galore!", d.h., wir wollten uns was Melodien und Hooks angeht noch steigern.
		Also war letztendlich der Titel "Cuddlecore Galore?" adäquater - quasi als Warnung...
		So gesehen verstehen wir Cuddlecore schon als Antithese zu dieser Form von Indiepop und der Begriff ist damit sehr positiv belegt.

	Spiderbait (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Spiderbait seems more at home bludgeoning the listener with guitars reminescent of dragsters, or drumming that borders on the nihilistic, proving that the dynamic drummer is not dead.
		Vocal duties are shared between the drummer and the female bassist, who, on tracks such as "Jesus," and "I Gotta Know," turns Spiderbait into a cuddlecore band gone horribly, horribly, wrong with wonderful results.
		Spiderbait's versatility is also complemented by strong song writing; "Jesus" works as a multi-level witticism, and not since a young Jello Biafra put pen to paper has a band dared to tackle such difficult, yet timely, questions as

	Phoenix - Music - Grrls, Grrls, Grrls! Live! On Stage! - phoenixnewtimes.com
		An all-grrl trio, cub has been slathering indie rock with its tooth-rot-sweet, pop-with-a-tiny-bit-of-punk hybrid for the past four years, inventing (and later disowning) its own subgenre ("cuddlecore") along the way.
		We played with the Muffs and the Queers last year, and it was interesting because a lot of people were coming to see the Queers and just happened to see us by mistake, or whatever.
		And I think they were surprised, but they also got into the music for what it was on their own merit, without the cuddlecore bullshit or the happy girlie-band hype.

	Honeybunch: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Jeffery Underhill and Honeybunch are a somewhat seminal band in terms of simple, intimate American indie pop -- their smooth, minimal three-piece pop approach and independent aesthetics served as a template for countless other scenes and projects.
		The surprising thing is that while many of the indie-pop bands to follow played into the "twee" or "cuddlecore" labels with precious, juvenile cutesiness, Underhills songwriting is earnest and unironic, and manages to be more emotionally effective tha… Read More »
		While never the most popular, most acclaimed, or most innovative act on the underground pop scene, in their own way, Small Factory crystallized and articulated the effervescent brilliance of American indie rock like no other band of their era.

	The Historic Rialto Theatre - Tucson AZ
		We strive to make the Rialto safe for all patrons and we ensure that each show has a substantial security presence that is commensurate with the nature and number of attendees.
		For obvious reasons, the security requirements for heavy metal shows are far greater than what is needed for, say, cuddlecore.
		The best guideline here is to know your child and what they can handle at their age.

		Their music's certainly pleasant and tuneful, but it's not likely to launch you very far from familiar earthly surroundings.
		At times, their album even sounds like cuddlecore dressed in silver space suits.
		Still, Think Airbag's hearts are in the right place (space, in the Jason Pierce rather than Sun Ra sense of the word), and it's always encouraging to see young musicians trying to get expansive.

		Dude had some qualms with a column I wrote that spanked indie rock idiots from the much-extolled Northwest for turning the DIY aesthetic into a jingle for cool burlap currier bags.
		He tossed back some good points about L.A. heads being far worse at soul-sucking scene-ism (along with some righteous color schemes to describe these hipsters like “cuddlecore pink, crybaby blue, and ironic rainbow”).
		In the end, this guy left us with a challenge to “put up or shut up,” in this case, meaning to start covering outsider art and local music that doesn’t totally blow, or slowly chip away at any Angeleno integrity we have left in this PR prison.

		The result of Starberry's "fuck it" approach is a hissy, dryer-full-of-glass mess, but unlike most infinitely obscure DIY bands, they have the skill, enthusiasm and catchiness to make the whole thing tick.
		Hard-rocking but undeniably twee, Starberry's sound is too abrasive to be tagged as cuddlecore.
		It recalls both Shonen Knife and Heavenly, though it most exactly resembles the old Scottish band Shop Assistants.

		Call it cuddlecore or bubblegum punk rock or whatever you want -- it's an infectious sound with tons of toothy attitude that just makes you feel like having a good time.

		The fact that Brookline, MA-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Mary Stopas calls herself Miss Mary, combined with her debut album's circa-1963 retro-kitsch graphics and song titles like "The Cutest Boy," might lead listeners to expect that Hey Blue!
		is artlessly amateurish, adorably winsome/unbearably cutesy (depending on one's tolerance for that kind of thing) K Records-style cuddlecore à la the Softies or Bunnygrunt.
		The songs are simple and instantly memorable, but with enough meat on them to stand up to repeated listens.

		In my mind, only about the first couple years of Cub really fit the "cuddlecore" tag.

		Being held up as icons of cuteness leaves Cub in a quandary.
		The band has been heralded as the leaders of the emerging indie-pop subgenre called "cuddlecore," a style of jangly pop infused with idyllic, sometimes childish images--think Shonen Knife and Pest.
		True, Cub has played into that cuddly image, singing songs about parties and picnics, and even getting Archie comics kingpin Dan DeCarlo to do the cover art on Betti-Cola.
