Fur Cups for Teeth- fcfu

I'm back! This time I actually have music, too!

Today I have one of my favorite new releases and bands, Fur Cups For Teeth. A weird name, I know. I don't get it, so don't ask me.

Fur Cups For Teeth are from Brooklyn. Sonically, their most defining feature is their harmonies, which are very sweet and filter and intertwine through every song. It's upbeat pop with a strong guitar bite in most of the songs, but not all. Sometimes they play with a drum machine and some synths, but oddly, it retains the feel of the guitar songs. That impresses me while giving the album an interesting edge that makes it more rewarding to listen to than most indie rock albums out these days. They go from sounding like riot grrrl/pop punk bands like Partyline to a female modern day Ramones, to a few other musical lands and back.

As I sometimes gripe about those musical vegetables, this band fills my (and your) inner nerdy female indie-rock vegetable palate. Although, you're not supposed to like your vegetables, so perhaps Fur Cups For Teeth is more tantamount to a giant bacon double cheeseburger. Either way you slice it (pun intended, hehe) this band will impress you, rock you, and definitely make you want to dance. Now, only if they'll come play at KDVS' O:RMF. A boy can dream.
