DREAM WIFE KIDS
Dream Wife are making a habit of throwing out thoroughly catching, wholly infectious punk-infused pop, as they follow-up 'Hey Heartbreaker' with another revved-up, carefree release. 'Kids' comes from the same Cannibal Hymns EP as its predecessor, recorded at the band’s guitarist Alice Go’s house in Bristol and Aeronaut studios in Reykjavik. It moseys along with a smile-inducing, laissez-faire attitude that seems to be the trio's trademark. Once again, gentle hints of Le Tigre and more recently Hinds spring to mind, as crunching guitars and a crying riff screams out amongst palm-mute movement and brilliantly bumbling bass. With a very special headline show at London's Birthdays on Friday 11th March (alongside support from a sixteen strong all female rap crew, Reykjavíkurdætur), Dream Wife are set to drench the scene in fun-filled empowerment. - G.O'B.
