Charly Bliss On Being True To Your 'School'

From the gnarly bubblegum-grunge guitars of “Percolator,” to the infectiously hooky chorus of “Glitter,” to the Weezer-like grind of “Ruby,” singer/guitarist Eva Hendricks and guitarist Spencer Fox apply their Fender offsets to one delectable riff after another. And whatever genre you call home, it’s also a superbly sharp wedge to hammer in between the electronic pabulum and auto-tuned schlock that often dominates the charts today.
