Beach Rock revival Oakland, California band Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud. Influences like The Beach Boys, The Shangri- La's, The Ronettes, and Patsy Cline shine through in songs like "When You're On", with front woman Shannon crooning like a scorned Leslie Gore, but with a rough unpolished edge inspired by the likes of The Cramps, Bad Brains, and fellow beach bum Nobunny.

Tigers on Vaseline is a band from Denton, TX in 2004, using a badly-abused Tascam four-track, Casio keyboards, Fruity Loops drum programming and dollar-store microphones. The members are Anthony and Dustin from Best Fwends, Ryan from Machine Gun Romantics, and Payton from Wax Museums. A few songs featured extra vocalists. Two songs were later used by Best Fwends: "Dump In The Dark" and "Get Cleen (feat. Tigers on Vaseline)".

Clara Clara saw the light of day in a basement in the small town of Dijon, France, gathered around a saucepan drumkit, a “shitty” Höner guitar and a My First Sony Microphone. Yet it immediately became the very core of the local spazz rock scene (we’re talking at least 8 people here, all of them shell- shocked by a short stay in town of dutch experimental band The Ex). Basically made up of Charles and François Virot (the latter being famous enough under his own name) and Amélie Lambert (a school book of whom cued the band with its name)...

You're probably thinking about the wrong Girl Band. You should be thinking about the one from Dublin, which is made up of four dudes.
