The Cuties are an all female four piece band from The Netherlands. Ah-Ah-Aah is their debut album which has been out in their home country for a couple of months now (via Living Room Records) and is now available in the UK via Rough Trade.I have seen references that compares The Cuties to the likes of All Girl Summer Fun Band, The Shaggs, Pony Up!, Tiger Trap and The Breeders. To be fair they do sound American with bits of those bands mentioned thrown all together. I for one am not complaining about any of those comparisons. You wouldn't want them to sound like any of the unimaginative bands that frequent the London circuit now would you?
Anyway back to the album. Ah-Ah-Aah is full of short, smart, melodic and catchy indie pop songs with only a couple clocking over three minutes. The topics range from clothes, party poopers, boys, summer, friends and learning to play instruments. My favourite track Piece Of Cake sums the album and The Cuties up in one. We get punk attitude, creaking guitar, lot's of smiles and most importantly fun fun fun! Oh - don't forget being cute either.
The Cuties - Ugly Boy
