Bruiser Queen

***"I have been calling BRUISER QUEEN the pride of St. Louis for some time and their new album Heavy High on Certified PR Records is making me look like a Certified Genius and a bonafide prognosticator. How am I doing? Thanks for asking. I’m doing great because this album blasts off with the song 'Sugar High,' which makes me feel like I’m on a SUGAR HIGH. 'Sugar High' is a great song to open this album up with and becomes a 'gateway drug/song' to 10 more power pop songs. Yes. I said it. Power Pop. This band has graduated with high honors from just being called a garage rock band. Bruiser Queen has 'poshed' up their sound and style and it is appropriate that this new album was pressed on opaque blue vinyl at the brand new Third Man plant in Detroit! Double sided insert, full color center labels, full color jackets, even shrink wrapped this time! This folks, is very posh packaging. Songs that stand out to me on this album and scream future top 40 hits are 'Telepathic Mind,' 'Teenage Fire' (which has a great sneaky surf rock vibe to it), 'Have Fun' (which I could see in a alternate timeline Blondie performing on the Midnight Special), 'Here Lies My Heart,' which reminds me of the band LUSH. So, does this mean Bruiser Queen are 'St. Louisgaze'? 'The Way I Love You' I will label 'ferocious posh'. Don’t let the fact this band has gotten a little more polished worry you. This album is jam packed with rockers!"—Time Bomb Tom Smith. Edition of 500 copies on blue vinyl.
