Letters From Frank

party!

     

The Hissyfits have a feminine sweetness with voice inflections that aren't so sweet, multipart female vocals that play off each other but come together for beautiful harmonies, rough fuzz from the guitar. The sensibility is sort of romance as something doomed and precious but enlivened by little flicks of the knife -- a good framework for music and its indefinite emotions...
-Village Voice

This whole album is nothing but Top Quality Rock and Roll. For every riff of pop there's also growling bass lines and bone-rattling drums. The band bursts out with an energized sound that sledgehammers its way out of your speakers - causing you to pump your fist and sing along almost instantly. This is the stuff I would recommend playing at very high volumes after a rough day...
-Coolgrrrls

These sunny rockers should provide the perfect summer-love soundtrack for the grrrl-friendly indie rock set [with their] bittersweet pop gems. A fun mix of Bangles-sweet three-part vocal harmonies, psychedelic pop, and the electric crunch of the Foo Fighters or even the Ramones...
-CMJ

The Hissyfits throw all gimmicks and overdone styles right out the window and draw instead from indie-pop and stripped-down punk. The Hissyfits’ invitation to “a hiss and a kiss” perfectly describes the deceptively sweet hooks that coat their sassy core. Uniquely soft harmonic vocals that can only be on be accurately described as “completely mesmerizing”...
-Lethal Injection

The Hissyfits rock. Every single track is a winner here. If you dug Sleater-Kinney's All Hands On the Bad One, this is your album. It has that same post-Ramones popiness but much more distorted, angrier guitars, and the constant employment of beautiful three-part vocal harmonies makes you wonder if Brian Wilson is co-writing some of these gems...
-Deep Fry Bonanza

With all its harmonic heartbreak and heartache, the first proper full-length from New York's latest buzz bandits, the Hissyfits, may be the most gripping and startlingly frank gone-wrong relationship album of the year...
-San Francisco Bay Guardian

Twelve beautiful tracks of luscious, harmony drenched, sugary-yet acidic pop tunes...complete with glorious hooks that are guaranteed to keep you coming back day after day for one more hit, one more moment of bliss. The Hissyfits are for fans of great songs, songs that will provide soundtracks to your lonely nights, tear-filled days, summery-blissful afternoons, and every other moment of your life...
