The Brownies: 'Means To An End' (NR One) More spiky pop fronted by some more angsty sounding young girls who sound like they were glad to get rid of some ex boyfriend. Makes a change from some indie boy whine about the opposite scenario. Flip sounds like a more accomplished sounding Poppy and The Jezebels, reminds me of a less sturdy Babes in Toyland from the South of England. Blue 7" vinyl and CD.Hyper-sexually-charged, oozing angst and buzzing energy, The Brownies infectious songs promise the best 168-hour party of your life. Catchy punk riffs and feminist-tipped lyrical content sung by the barefooted Sophie, "Means To An End" has edgy guitars, ballsy basslines and meaty beats fuelling dervish-esque slam dancing. As heard on Radio 1 courtesy of Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, The Brownies inhabit an energetic and engaging thrill-a-minute planet. The Brownies are '4 real' carved into every arm. Two-track 7" blue vinyl, and four-track CD single.
