Blimey it’s Blondie all over again, even down to the mini dress, bleach blonde bob and red pumps. Okay so they come from Nashville and most of the crowd have never seen Blondie live but it’s a perfect replica even Jemina Pearl Apegg’s movements and body positions on stage are as though I’m watching Debbie Harry again.

They thrash around the stage and are great to watch and the set is hugely entertaining, visually appealing and the music isn’t bad too. Wildcat is their best track and the performance is terrific. Jemina is a new punk princess in the making and they are well received, one to see again and if they are always this full of energy the songs won’t matter!

Though, having said that 'Bicycle, Bicycle' and 'Damn Damn Leash' are great debut tracks. This band are one to watch, an act as vibrant as this are destined to the top if they don’t implode along the way.
