The Pills

Vendetta Magazine

Boston's pills play an infectious brand of guitar pop, a perfect hybrid of UK mod and classic American power pop sounds with hint of classic 70's punk thrown in for good measure. Their debut long player Wide Awake will hit you like the mod drug of choice they're named after and you won't suffer through any comedowns! Instead, you'll want to hit the repeat play button and listen to these zippy three minute pop songs all over again. In addition to being catchy, the songs are well written and have substance. "Butternut" is a hysterical tale about a beautiful loser - sort of a modern update of the "Happy Jack" theme - while other tracks like "All That Way", "Scooter Gurl", and "Molly & Me" are cleverly penned accounts on how a girl can liven up and/;or fuck up a guy's life. My favorite tune is probably the blistering "Soft", which opens up with a post punk powered riff not unlike Magazine's "Shot By Both Sides". I wish more bands would play rock 'n' roll the way the pills do. Loud, fast, and fun.
